Public bug reported:

Whenever I boot up my laptop with headphones already plugged in via the
headphone jack, and attempt to play audio, no audio will play, even
though the volume is up. I have to unplug my headphones and plug it back
in for the audio to play to my headphones.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. With the machine powered off, plug in headphones into the audio jack
2. Power on the machine and log in
3. Open Audacity, or (in my case), open up a YouTube video and turn up the sound
4. Notice no audio plays

Expected Results:
Audio plays through the headphones without issue

Actual Results:
No audio plays at all.
