Quick tip video on how to fix Audacity killing headphone audio on Linux. The problem I’ve faced is that when launching Audacity, the audio output from my headphone jack is disrupted and will not work again until i use the ‘alsactrl restore’ command in a terminal. This video shows how to correct this issue by changing the default input in Audacity.
