13.2 - USB speakers problem

I couldn't get this to work with earlier versions of Salix either, as far as I remember - or maybe I did but then my headphones wouldn't work. It's not the end of the world, but my other speakers have broken so I got this USB one out of the drawer to have another go.
When I say - "USB" - I think they are supposed to "plug and play" independently of the computer's sound card, if that is possible. In any case, alsamixer detects them as a sound card. F6 produces a list
Code: Select all
(default) │ │ │ │ >
│ │ │ │▒▒│ │▒▒│0 HDA Intel │ │ │ │ >
│ │▒▒│ │▒▒│ │▒▒│1 USB AUDIO │ │ │ │ >
│ │▒▒│ │▒▒│ │▒▒│ enter device name...
where 0 looks like my sound card; that's all that appears normally. I select 1 and increase the volume from its zero default. No sound. I have tried rebooting, and rooted around in the alsa wiki:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/Category:Alsa-utils
Code: Select all
root[mimosa]# lspci -v | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
If anyone can give me any pointers, I'd be most grateful

Run gtkalsasetup and select your default alsa sound card.

It already was the default, apparently (I must have managed to do this in alsamixer).
However, alsasetup seems to have a problem under 13.2:
Code: Select all
root[mimosa]# gtkalsasetup
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/gtkalsasetup", line 105, in on_button_ok_clicked
msginfo.run()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'run'

Hmm... no idea why the lines that are causing this are in the code. Will take a look. But it should work anyway, regardless of that message.
Install the gnome-media package, run gstreamer-properties and select and test the soundcard there too.

Right. That lets me select it, but:
Code: Select all
mimosa[~]$ gstreamer-properties

Well, those look like errors to me (or maybe it's just some stuff that's irrelevant), but in any case, it didn't work.

It is clearly stated that they are Messages. All error messages are messages, but not all messages are error messages.
