Run "alsamixer" (it's a command-line tool) and in the text UI that |
| 6 |
appears, press F6, select your USB audio device, and then check if it's |
| 7 |
muted or the volume is 0. |

PulseAudio generally uses the ALSA sound mixer to change volumes, but |
| 10 |
not always. For some devices, it uses a software volume control that |
| 11 |
doesn't use the ALSA volume controls. So if those are set to 0, there |
| 12 |
will never be any sound. |
