I assume you are frustrated but let me make a suggestion while admitting I know nothing about PA works in the situation. The fact that your audio is muted must be recorded somewhere by PA. So it seems if we knew whore that was a combination of changing that file and/or reinstalling PA should be able to straighten things out.
