Mu USB headset stopped working after upgrading from raring to saucy on a Dell xps 13 laptop. It appears as "digital stereo headset" in the sound settings in gnome control center, but choosing it does nothing now, and when I close and re-open the sound settings and the chosen sound is still "internal sound" (or something similar - my system language is not English). In pavucontrol, my headset does not appear at all in the "Output Devices" tab - only internal sound and analogue headphones. Oddly it does appear in "Configuration" tab, where it is set to "combined analogue stereo". In lsusb I see: Bus 003 Device 010: ID 03f0:8c07 Hewlett-Packard Digital Stereo Headset Any idea about what I can do next?

Since you are running Saucy, I suggest that you help the developers find the problem by filing a bug Code: apport-bug package Maybe the package is pavucontrol or pulseaudio If you have no account at Launchpad, this is a good time to get one in order to write a description and continue a dialogue in the bug report. https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/NewAccount I think the login can be combined with the new login to Ubuntu Forums.
apport-bug package
ok, silly me. This problem solved itself magically after rebooting. Ubuntu sometimes acts like windows in that respect...
Yes, I agree. Reboot is one of the first things to try with a desktop installation. Glad you solved it so easily Edit: Particularly after upgrading I can understand why reboot can help.

I did reboot, twice, after upgrading. Apparently, third time was the charm.
