alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf issue #500 was opened from BGnoinski:

I am currently running into an issue with my Gnome desktop where audio from applications like Firefox is not working. I have run `alsa-info.sh` and the contents [have been uploaded here](http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=d18e76790182eaa8b63e03f435397660b5879b0e)

I know that debian is running an old version of the `alsa-ucm-conf` package (1.2.8) so I have updated the ucm and ucm2 confs with:

```
#!/bin/bash

curl -L -o alsa-ucm-conf.tar.gz https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/archive/refs/heads/master.tar.gz
tar xvzf alsa-ucm-conf.tar.gz -C /usr/share/alsa --strip-components=1 --wildcards "*/ucm" "*/ucm2"

```

I can see that my boards identifier(not sure if that's the correct terminology) exists in the ucm2 USB-Audio conf

```
grep -Hrn '0b05:1a52' /usr/share/alsa/
/usr/share/alsa/ucm2/USB-Audio/USB-Audio.conf:58:		# 0b05:1a52 ASUS ROG Strix X670E-F & Z790-E Gaming Wifi
```

Even though the comment doesn't have my board specifically in it, looking at the uploaded package I see:

```
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0b05:1a52 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. USB Audio
```

So my understanding is that should be fine. Even when I look at the [motherboard specs](https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-x670e-a-gaming-wifi-model/spec/) I see that it says it's `ROG SupremeFX 7.1 Surround Sound High Definition Audio CODEC ALC4080` so I don't know if this is different from the Realtek ALC4080 Maybe?

And the odd part is if I run `aplay -D plughw:Audio,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav `

I get the following output:
```
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono
```

And I do in fact hear audio coming from my speakers.

Looking in the sound settings it appears as if I am able to select the correct output, and when audio _should_ be playing the little blue line does go up.

So it seems like I am just missing something obvious to tie all of the components together to get desktop applications working with the correct output.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
