Enable USB sound (including Firefox32 in Gutsy and Feisty)
This useful little command helped me get my Gigabtye-USB speakers cranking in Ubuntu.
In a terminal run: asoundconf list
This should return a list of cards.
Replace xxxxx below with the name you found in list (case sensitive).
In a terminal run: asoundconf set-default-card xxxxxx
Then again with sudo: sudo asoundconf set-default-card xxxxx
Thanks to NilsE at the Ubuntu forums for this one.
This fix works also works if you’re having problems getting sound out of Firefox32 in your AMD64 bit system (as I was).
