nearly no Sound at all

Hi, I am not 100% sure, but I think it first occurred when turning off the alarm, then the sound was/is nearly off. When I realized it the first times, a reboot or open a mp3 file worked to get the sound back. But now it is permanent. The sound is there, but very,very,very silent. When I use external speakers and make those very loud I can hear something!
And what happens when you press the volume buttons? Is it making a difference? Do you have a cover around your phone which maybe blocks the speaker? Is the sound level normal when making a normal phone call?
I think there needs to be more info for analyzing this problem.

I have read that this is the same as a reset of the audio process.

with devel-su: - $pulseaudio --check, --kill, --start -> could not be used without --system
no I get "failed to create secure directory (/run/user/100000/pulse): no permission" every time

and one minute ago I tried to call someone and now I even got no sound while calling :( after reboot I got sound again, played my ringtone for testing, after 2sec sound disappeared again, but calling is ok
