Plug your headset out and back in, confirm the headset is present in ALSA but not pulseaudio and kill pulseaudio: pkill -U $USER pulseaudio. Pulseaudio will restart itself automatically.
All audiostreams currently active will break, but pulseaudio is restarted and should recognoze your headset again. Also, this does not happen with Ubunutu 20.04 on my laptop (yet). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1865499 Title: pulseaudio doesn't detect (new) USB headset To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-lib/+bug/1865499/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
