Funny I have the opposite. I often need to induce a sleep/wake cycle to restore detection of external speakers. Killing coreaudiod does not fix it, but a restart or (I recently learned) sleep/wake does.
Plugging headphones in and taking them out again also seems to fix it sometimes, but I don't always have a pair of headphones by my desk.
If I have headphones/speakers plugged in, and unplug them (usually to swap from headphones to speakers, or vice-versa), often after I unplug, it won't recognise that I plug something back in.
I used to think this happened when some perhaps-not-so-diligent audio using apps were open (I'm looking at you Skype) but it seems to happen more and more. Then again I'm already on my 3rd logic board for this MBP (both times replaced because of dedicated GPU failure), which is the 2nd MBP I've had that's had that same problem fixed twice.

> I went crazy trying to find the square brackets. Apple's US keyboards have them in a good place: on dedicated keys to the right of the 'p' key. Scroll down a bit here: http://www.apple.com/magic-accessories/ Like you, I am baffled as to why some of their BSD userland programs are so very out of date.
Apples US keyboards are fine, the problem is their international keyboards are usually bizarre hybrids of the local layout and US layout. Standard UK layout: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KB_United_Kingdom.svg Apple "UK" layout: http://i.imgur.com/pIGiilv.jpg (@€#@|\`~ are all wrong)
I thought I had at least 20 years before being scared of new technology. Still sitting on OS X 10.10 scared to update, and completely disinterested in most cloud stuff except for my OneDrive folder. Time to look into Linux, I suppose, since I'm about to become one of those people.
Actually I already migrated most of my things (Evernote, Things, Mail.app) already into Emacs and must say that this old Lisp machine is the best OS of the three^^ So I take the world becoming closed and proprietary as a chance to go back to sanity.
Will they update the unix layer? A lot of the CLI tools there are positively prehistoric. Maybe while they're at it they can add a real package manager too.
Still no mention of Vulkan support on macOS or iOS. The dream of one 3D API to rule them all remains a dream :(

Yeah so my issue is pretty much opposite of yours it seems. If I have headphones/speakers plugged in, and unplug them (usually to swap from headphones to speakers, or vice-versa), often after I unplug, it won't recognise that I plug something back in.

"Developer State of the Union", Jesus... you talk about a closed platform. I've never been able to stand these ecosystems where you need to attend state of the unions to know what will be deprecated and how the "establishment" has decided you would run your business (tools, etc...). I know there's good money to be made there but Apple is just too much for me.
To be fair, you don't need to attend anything, just wait 24 hours and read all the blog posts.
