It's a root permission issue, there could be 2 cases.

1. permission of home sirectory

You can check this by;

  $ ls -l /home

In may case, the output is;

  drwxr-xr-x 151 masaru users 12288  6月 30 22:31 masaru

2. Another case is the permission of ~/.config/pulse, or ~/.config/pulse/*

  $ ls -l ~/.config | grep pulse

in ma case, the result is;

      drwx------  2 masaru users   4096 11月 13  2020 pulse

  $ ls -l ~/.config/pulse/* | grep root

As you see, there doesn't exist the word 'root'.

If not like these, please do

  $ sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME/

and/or

  $ sudo rm -rf ~/.config/pulse
