Hi
I was playing around and found a solution to the usb headphone issue. to use your headphones without
restarting go into a terminal and type:
killall pulseaudio
pulseaudio
that should kill then restart pulseaudio. and since I was unsure if it used pulseaudio or alsa I also did:
alsa force-unload
alsa force-reload
after a few moments hit the volume on your usb headphones and if you hear sound in the headphones great. note
that to make this work you may have to restart orca also with control shift o. if you do not hear sounds in
your headphones go into sound preferences and now your headphones should be showing up as a selectable sound
device. so select them and have fun. if there is an easier way to do this guys let me know but this is my
solution for using usb headphones without having to restart the computer. I hope this bit of info helps
someone out like it helped me out. I just went outside did some thinking and thought about trying that
solution so I did and it seems to work. one glitch is when you close the terminal it says there is a process
running. not sure what that process might be but if you just close and kill the process you can just be on
your way.
