Public bug reported: Sometimes, apparently randomly, sound stops working through the headphones. Sound still works normally through speakers but not through headphones. Pulseaudio correctly senses the headphone plug/unplug and the device appears in the output devices list but no sound is heard.
I've tried killing pulsaudio and restarting the session but only a reboot solves the problem.
