I doubt someone will be patient enough to read your config file, especially with this formatting.

Did you check volume levels with some other tools, e.g. `pavucontrol`? Are you sure that your sound card has actually the index "0"? For example the HDMI output of your graphics adapter may also be recognized by pulseaudio. You can check this with `pactl list`.

I3 doesn't do sound and can't make your sound work or not work. Note pulseaudio requires other services to work. On my system I think I had to enable dbus and consolekit which on a minimal os may not be enabled by default.
