Sound originally worked.... on the system's default analog audio output. It was trying to get the audio-over-HDMI part working which messed up the config. And as far as I know, there isn't a "rebuild this system's audio config" bash script. Something like HP's HPLIP that scans the hardware at the lowest level and begins configuring everything. Not to mention the apparent lack of a set-default-audio-device.sh script that allows you to effortlessly change the audio device when there's more than one (eg the built-in-one + an external USB audio device). If there's something like that, I'd like to know about it. Perhaps this could be a job for the LSB project? Just thinking aloud...
