Public bug reported: In 15.10 (Wily)...
I get to work, plug in my USB hub with my USB headset plugged into it, go to sound settings. Headset is listed there. I tell sound settings to switch output to the headset. It doesn't switch (i.e., when I play a test sound, it's still coming out of the laptop's speakers). I unplug the USB headset and plug it back in. Same problem. I log out and log back in again. Same problem. To actually fix this problem, I have to run pulseaudio -k and then pluseaudio --start --log-target=syslog. I suspect this is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1518411 . Is that possible?
