Description Paul Done 2006-05-04 19:01:34 UTC
Please describe the problem:
My machine: Dell Latitude D600
In GNOME 2.14.1 (Fedora Core 5) my USB speakers aren't detected by the utility.
Therefore I can't use the utility to enable GNOME apps such as Rhythmbox and
Totem  to play music via my USB speakers.

See the following link for much more information: 

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=430410#post430410


Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot Linux running GNOME 2.14.1 (eg. Fecora Core 5)
2. Plug in USB speakers into computer (1 can be done before 2 - no difference
3. Select menu option System | Administration | Souncard Detection
4. Notice that only the built-in soundcard(s) are shown in the tool. The USB
speakers are not (in FC4/Gnome 2.10 they were listed by the tool though the tool
still wasn't able to set the correct /etc/asound.conf device from machine.


Actual results:
When I play sound via Totem, Rhythmbox, etc, no sound comes out of my speakers.
I have to manually edit /etc/asound.conf to set the correct device number for my
speakers - at which point my speakers happily play the sound

Expected results:
Be able to select my USB speakers in the utility and then when playing OGGs/MP3s
via Rhythmbox, I would be able to hear the music from the speakers

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Hi!
Thank you for taking time and reporting the bug!

system-config-soundcard is a fedora-only utility, and as such tracks it's bugs in the redhat bugzilla. Please report it there.
