Well, I just tried that - I did a /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart (as well as separate stop and start attempts) with no result - this did NOT bring back headphone sense.
Interestingly enough, I also witnessed a different permutation that I hadn't seen before. I suspended from a clean boot (when everything was working) with the headphones unplugged (though I had been using them earlier). When I resumed, there was NO SOUND through the speakers, but when I plugged in the headphones, I could hear through them. -- Headphone sense dies on suspend on Dell D620 https://launchpad.net/bugs/80860 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
