Comment 9 for bug 99162

I think I7m suffering the same or a similar bug.

I can not get any sound at all, no matter what I do, despite the card seemingly being identified and ALSA driver's loaded.

I have a fresh install of Feisty. I have an external USB audio device by Kenwood. In alsamixer it is shown to be unmuted.

$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 1: Device [Kenwood Audio Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
$ asoundconf list
Names of available sound cards:
Device

The only error output I get is when I go to Preferences->Sound, and select to test "Sound PLayback* with Alsa selected from the drop down menu. Then I get this error:
audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing.

If I select to test USB audio, or Autodetect, I get a dialog box that says sound is playing, but I get no sound through my device.

This must be a bug somewhere, as I can:t find any other way of determining what is wrong, and I feel like I've been through every sound trouble shooting web page on the net.

I even thought my Kenwood might be broken, but I just confirmed it is running by hooking it up to a Windows laptop which played without any trouble.

I'm eager for a solution, or even a workaround.

Thank you for your time and effort. If I can provide any more information or assistance to get this working, please let me know.
