Yesterday, after running some .avi files with mplayer, my system lost
sound. Rebooting brought the sound back.
How could I have restarted sound without rebooting?
My system occasionally loses sound. In my case, it is invariably a
runaway firefox process that was trying to play flash and something went
wrong. I find the offending process (this is normally an extra process,
separate from any currently active firefox process) and kill it and that
will generally bring sound back without any more drastic actions.
