Reply to comment by dontvisitmyintentions in Do any of the reasons that prevented people from using Linux still apply in 2021? by Wahaha

If you run Linux and have audio trouble, chances are you run pulseaudio, whose troubles can be fixed by running "puleaudio -k", which restarts it. For me, for some reason pulseaudio decided to select the wrong devices upon each restart, so I wrote a script that selects the correct ones which runs at startup.

It's at a lower level. Re-logging in also doesn't fix sound, though it does show missing batteries and sensors. The script that parses function key presses seems to get confused, and I think that's related to the machine's general ACPI spam. That might be fixable, if I can identify sequences to ignore instead of letting it build errors over time.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.
