Bug Description
I use a Jabra Speak 510 USB audio device (speaker/mic) with my desktop for conference calls, hangouts, etc.
Yesterday (and ever since I bought the device) I was able to use this device for audio output and input on Xenial.
Today, after upgrading to Bionic, I am no longer able to use the device.
Plugging it in shows that it's recognized correctly when plugging it into a USB3 port (via dmesg):

And it appears on the USB bus:

And when I open the sound settings (I am using Unity 7) the Jabra device appears as both an available input and output device.
However, when I select it, and try a test sound, the output STILL comes out of the desktop's line-out and NOT the USB audio device.
Likewise, on the Input tab, if I select the Jabra, no sound is detected when I speak.
Thinking this might be because I'm using a USB hub, I disconnected the hub and plugged the device in directly to an onboard USB3 port but the problem persists. The device appears as an available output and input source, but sound does not come out of it (it still comes out the line-out despite the fact I have selected the USB device) and no sound is detected when testing the input side.
I also plugged in a USB webcam that has a built in microphone, LIke the Jabra Speak 510, my USB webcam Microphone appears as an available input device and like the Jabra, no sound is detected when I select the webcam microphone. USB audio seems to be completely inoperative on Bionic.
Looking at the Sound Settings menu, I notice that the title changes with each device I choose, however it does NOT change when I choose the USB devices. See attached screen shots for more info there.
