It has now been the third time I got problems with the sound while working on a Linux Os in a dual boot configuration with Windows 10. It happened to me twice under Ubuntu 16.04 and most recently under Debian 9.0.1. It appears that after any random system suspension and/or lock screen with headphones plugged in, the sound card recognition stops working, and when I unplug and plug the headphones again I no longer get an answer from pulseaudio. After reboot, I get Dummy output in linux's pulseaudio and despite trying many solutions, the only really viable one is to format the disk and make a clean install of both OS. I even tried to restore the disk images and it didn't work.I wanted to ask how is it possible that a linux sound problem can affect Windows 10 in a different partition, and be persistent over disk image restore? What might be causing this problem?I have a Dell Inspiron 7560, the sound device is Intel Corporation Device 9d71 (rev 21).Thanks!
