Package: alsa-utils Version: 1.0.23-2 Severity: wishlist Five years on, bug 297343 (archived, so I couldn't reply to it) takes me out for a few frustrating hours. I was playing with mixer levels to get my mic capture working and turned on "Headphone Jack Sense", no doubt thinking that turning things on could hardly hurt. Googling did not get me the solution; I just checked the ALSA faq and it's there, but this did not come up in my searches.
I looked at the Debian fix, and it seems that I could have run "/etc/init.d/alsa reset" to get my sound working again. That's great, thought it's a little obscure and I never found it documented. What I tried was "alsactl init", but this didn't do it. It would be have been better for me if this fix could have been made in alsactl init. Any chance for some of the Debian sanity checks to be ported to alsactl init? Should I file an upstream bug about this?
