I have the same bug for many releases already, I just could never find the rightful solution till few days ago. I am running 17.04 and the problem is still there... Maybe it will be gone once I update to 17.10, I will report back. It is frustrating and occurs a lot to me as I never reboot my machine, and often connect and disconnect my headset. At least now I don't need to reboot if I want to use my headset.
