With loading the pulseaudio loopback module you had made your microphone loop back to the audio output.

To reverse this just unload this module again:

pactl unload-module module-loopback

To unload all modules we had added in addition to those defined in our default.pa we can also reset and restart the pulseaudio server with:

pulseaudio -k

This will then load only modules from the default.pa.
