USB Headset Works on Boot But Fails When Reconnected

I have this weird problem where my Turtle Beach PLa headset works on boot but stops playing audio when I unplug it and plug it in again. When I reconnect it, dmesg outputs no errors, the headset is detected, and amixer shows it unmuted and working but it doesn't play sound.

maybe the default audio output is set differently depending on what is detected at boot time.

Please post aplay -L (that's a Capital Lima ) from booting with headset plugged in and booted without .

Well, it seems that the headset will not work unless it is connected during system boot. Plugging it in causes it to be detected, but running # speaker-test gives me this:

speaker-test

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Playback open error: -2, No such file or directory

When I boot with the headset plugged in, it works. However, when I unplug it and plug it in again, speaker-test throws an error about 1074:dmix unable to open slave.

That suggests something is not initialized correctly when the headset is plugged in after boot.
