Hi
I have a set of usb speakers. tesco trust brand, that are supposed to 
work with laptops. However they do not produce sound! When I plug them 
in and reboot the module snd_usb_audio is added to the installed modules 
and the sound mixer, kmix, displays a drop down list with "c-media usb 
audio" as a selection option, but still no sound!
    

That's a strange setup. The USB speakers I've seen are just USB powered 
and have a standard audio jack for input. USB soundcards are a bad idea 
IMHO, and merging them with speakers is just silly.

  

how are they usb speakers if they run from a standard audio jack plug? these are a set of mini speakers with a usb plug on the end of the wire. My audio card is a bog standard audio card. It looks like they've been detected and the OS has attempted to load the needed modules, but something is missing. There is no usb option in kmix when they're not plugged in.
