I dual boot Linux Mint 20.1 & Windows 10. Every time I boot into Mint after windows, with my (wired) headphones remaining plugged in the whole time, the audio either gets routed to laptop speakers, or to headphones but the volume is way too high. Disconnecting & reconnecting the headphones solves the problem every time. So, is there a way to simulate this without physically doing it? Or another solution to this problem?
It's only an inconvenience of course, but since my laptop is new and my ports are tight, I'm kinda straining the headphone cable near the plug. Thanks in advance...

I can't think of a real linux solution but you can buy a female jack y splitter and use it as a mini extension where you will plug and unplug easily your heaphones.

Re: Simulate headphone disconnect & reconnect?
I think I found a solution -- after embarrassingly blasting music into my office this morning because I forgot to unplug/replug my headphones ...
The
Code: Select all
sudo echo 'pulseaudio -k' | sudo tee -a /etc/init.d/pulseaudio-reset && sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/pulseaudio-resetsudo echo '...' | sudo tee -a is basically the same as sudo echo '...' > for protected files as described here.
