How do i get my USB audio speaker to work in Ubuntu 8.04 with kernel 2.6.24-16

lspci |grep audio
00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0)

lsusb
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0d8c:0103 C-Media Electronics, Inc. Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro

i put this line in the /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
ao=alsa:noblock:device=hw=1.0
and that made the usb speakers work in Mplayer, but nowhere else, how do enable usb speakers everywhere in Ubuntu. Thanks in advance.

If you're using gnome, try in Control Center("gnome-control-center") changing:
in "GStreamer Properties" the "Default Output"
in "Sound"->"Devices" the "Sound Playback" and "Default Mixer Track"

I use KDE 3.5X

Then maybe on in "KDE Control Center"->"Sound & Multimedia"->"Sound System",
In the "Hardware" tab change the "Select the audio device".

And make sure Alsa is configured to deal with usb speakers. I never had usb speaker, so I'm not sure how to do it, but you can look it up in the alsa manual/homepage/forums.
