Being relatively new to Linux, I just shot for Xubuntu. I had to reformat yesterday, because I somehow nuked it in my tired adventures. Ever since then, I haven't been able to get my USB audio working.

When runninglsusb, my headset shows up as Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0d8c:013c C-Media Electronics, Inc. CM108 Audio Controller , yet it does not appear when I runaplay -l oraplay -L (Results for either command)

On runninpacmd list-sinks, I only get a Dummy Output

Could somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong, and how I can sort this out?

Solved!

I spent a fair few hours tinkering before I figured out that I'm an idiot, so I'll write down what I believe I did:

$ gksudo gedit/yourtexteditor /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Then, at the bottom of the text file, comment out the line that says

options snd-usb-audio index=-2

Save the file, and then run

$ gksudo gedit/yourtexteditor /etc/pulse/default.pa

Add this to the bottom.

load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:3,0

This is assuming that your device is hw:3,0

Instead of load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:3,0 you can do

load-module module-switch-on-connect

works fine
