Currently Running on Linux Kernel 5.6.12-1.

Waking up from sleep causes PulseAudio (default audio driver) to crash and thus you won't hear any audio.

To solve this issue, input this in you command line:

```
pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio --start

```
OR (If the above option doesn't work or cause any issues)

```
/usr/bin/pasuspender /bin/true

```

This will fix this issue with audio drivers, if anyone facing such issues. You can also make an auto-exec systemd script to do the same when your system wakes up from sleep.

PS: It happens randomly ... Not replicable through any definite steps, but if you are facing issues follow these steps.
