                  Hello,

                  
                  I'm having trouble getting any sound from browsers -
                  chrome & firefox

                  (hulu, youtube); and also VLC; if I try to use my USB
                  device.  amarok

                  and jitsi work fine.

                  
                  Everything works if I use the Intel soundcard.

                  
                  Any ideas please?

                  
                  Thank you in advance

                  
                A, the kernel you are using (3.2) did not work well
                  for me through my C-Media USB device (a Schiit
                  Bifrost).

                  
                Maybe you should try a live cd version, say Ubuntu
                  14.04, with a much newer kernel. 

                
      Thank you for your response.  14.04 is still in beta at this time
      as I understand it, and upgrading at this time is really not an
      option for me right now.  12.04 is LTS for 5 years, good until
      2017 I think.

      
      I hope someone else has a better solution?

      
    I should also point out - as I mentioned from the start - that 2 out
    of 5 programs work just fine.  That does not sound like a kernel
    issue to me.  I'd call it a browser issue at best (considering that
    they don't seem to have a way to select a specific device), except
    for the fact that VLC does in fact allow me to specify which device
    yet still doesn't work.  And that's what's so puzzling.  If VLC
    worked, I'd chalk it up to the USB device not being the default, and
    then focus on how to make it the default device.
