Ubuntu Reload Sound

When plugging sound/recording devices into an Ubuntu computer, the device will often appear in the sound management software, but you will be unable hear anything through it. Running the following command will reload the sound system and the device will "magically" start working again.

pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload

• Ask Ubuntu - Is there another way to restart the sound system if pulseaudio/ALSA dont work?
