Howdy all,

I've got a USB soundcard/dac and most of the time it is running smoothly. However, sometimes the dac is not recognized by the system as being an audio device and I have to reboot too get sound out of it. So:
- The device is recognized as being an usb device all the time
- sometimes it doesn't show up as an audio device in the system preferences
- I've tried sudo "kill -9 `ps ax|grep 'coreaudio[a-z]' |awk '{print $1}'`" in an attempt to kill/restart coreaudio and thereby fix the problem. This doesn't work

After a reboot all works as should be and I can select the device properly from the system preferences.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue or what to kill/restart and how to do that in order for it to work without rebooting the system.

Kind regards, Maarten
