    USB Speakers Not Working

    I'm well aware this is a common issue among Linux users, but have exausted every method I've researched.

    On Xubuntu, I have a small set of USB speakers. Now, the system does detect the output. The mute and volume controls on the speakers work properly (I can see the sound bar move on the screen when doing so).

    I've tried various applications such as pavucontrol, to try and fix the problem.

    When I try playing audio, sound bars are moving in pavucontrol, but alas, no actual audio from the speakers.

    You need to set the default device to your usb speakers otherwise they will output to your first detected sound card.

    You can do this by opening a terminal and put this in

    First you need to know what modules to set as default

    Code:
    sudo asoundconf list
    find your USB sound module name, then...

    Code:
    sudo asoundconf set-default-card yoursoundcardmodule
    you should get audio immediately from your speakers.

    unless you already did this then get a shotgun and shoot me for being ignorant.

    It says "asoundconf: command not found".

    Any other ideas?

    I've exhausted just about every trick I've read out on the internet o,o;

    But like I mentioned, Xubuntu FINDS the device, but alas, no audio

    I may have to try the speakers on another PC to ensure they're not screwed.
