As mentioned, I can't get the ArtDio NB-005B USB Speakers to work on Ubuntu 12.10.
So, I tried using them with the 12.04 Live CD, and I was surprised that they didn't work there either (because before upgrading to 12.10 they worked). Then I tried using them by loading the Ubuntu 10.04.2 Live CD. From there, they worked fine! Here's the alsa-info of the speakers working perfectly in Ubuntu 10.04.2: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=c633ff994562edbb21f2d9bdefae40b8c5c68c05 and here's them not working in Ubuntu 12.10: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=c964bb7dd7d08f5e86818c56533dc519c45291fd Previously, I attached the Pulse Audio Log of the speakers NOT working in 12.10. Now, this attachment is the Pulse Audio Log of them WORKING in Ubuntu 10.04.2 ** Attachment added: "pulseverbose.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1074783/+attachment/3431594/+files/pulseverbose.log -- 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.
