Retina MBP audio gone

Occasionally, for reasons unknown, the early 2013 Retina MacBook Pro audio stops working. If you try to adjust the volume, you only see a speaker with slash through it, indicating no audio device is present.

After entering the following command in Terminal, audio is restored:
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/
