Re: Headphone Problem***

Hi there,
May I ask which model of Sony headphones?
I use Sony in my production studio, so it might help.
If I follow, they work fine on your device, portable? running mx Linux. 
Runs  wonderfully on your  other Debian device as well.
Your computer, when you turn it off, and on in the morning, there is a 
need to  unplug and reconnect..is that all correct?
YOu have not changed Debian distributions on your computer lately?
A different kind of test, if you are willing.
Next time you turn off your system, after you turn it back on, wait say 
five minutes before attaching the headphones at all.
Oh, these are 3.5  connector headphones, or are they USB?
I am wondering, since reconnecting them puts things back to normal, if the 
problem may be tied to how long it takes for all the internal moving parts 
to load
 and configure...which given that hardware might take a bit.  Especially 
if anything about your os, tied to sound, has changed.
Does that make sense?
Adding the list back, folks here know more about how hardware interacts in 
Debian then myself smiles.
