I could add the device to the alsa-lib blacklist but that would not solve the problem, just remove the S/PDIF connection.
I think the key to understand this problem is: Device iec958:1 doesn't support 44100 Hz, changed to 46875 Hz. Now that's a weird sample rate. I wonder if this is actually the case, i e, that the true sample rate of the speakers are 46875 Hz, or if there's something in the lsusb device information that's wrong. Do you get any sound out of your speakers with this command? speaker-test -c 2 -D plughw:Device -t sine ...and if so, are you able to figure out if the sample rate is actually 46875 Hz or if the tone is detuned? :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074783 Title: ArtDio NB-005B USB Speakers Stopped Working in Ubuntu 12.10 Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I know the proper way to report bugs about packages of software I use, but I'm not sure how to properly report bugs about hardware I use. You see, in Ubuntu 12.04, my ArtDio NB-005B USB Speakers worked fine. However, after upgrading to 12.10 Beta2, they still appear under that "Sound Settings" > "Output" menu, but once selected the audio continues to play out of my laptops internal speakers. Normally, I choose a package to report a bug, but I'm not sure how to report this type of thing. Please advise best practices.
