Just a sidenote, I am using OpenSuSE 10.3 and “alsa” is not in my path, however “alsaconf” reset the sound. Thanks!

It does, however, kill every process depending on ALSA… This is much better than a reboot, but it’s something you should know before you try it.

Thanks for this post (1 year old and still useful, neat!). On a previous version/distro (can’t remember, I think Ubuntu may still have it), there used to be alsaconf — which did the same and more: reconfigured ALSA, redetect hardware, etc. but was overkill. This command does just what I want for my rare freezes .
