I recently got a speaker that is connected via USB,
and has a switch to turn it on/off.

Pysol, (among some other programs) turn their sound off when this speaker is off,
but dont turn sound on again when speaker gets on again.
Ie. those programs need to be restarted to play sounds again.
I guess they only check once at startup if they can play sounds...

Some other programs (like firefox) have no such problems.

From a technical perspective, this is because PySol needs to detect which sound component is installed, if any (i.e. pysol-sound-server or pygame), and adjust the audio settings appropriately. It doesn't usually expect the audio component to be switched out while running (as you can't delete files in use).

I suggest to re-check the sound component at certain points while the program is running,
eg. when starting a game, or when un/pausing.
