How to select usb speakers?

Hi,

I have picked up a pair of usb speakers for my laptop that are detected as:

Code:

andrew@skamandros~$ cat /proc/asound/modules
 0 snd_hda_intel
 1 snd_usb_audio

and:

Code:

andrew@skamandros~$ dmesg | grep -i logitech
usb 3-2: Manufacturer: Logitech
usb 5-1: Product: Logitech USB Speaker
usb 5-1: Manufacturer: Logitech
input: Logitech Optical USB Mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb3/3-2/3-2:1.0/input/input11
generic-usb 0003:046D:C016.0001: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech Optical USB Mouse] on usb-0000:00:1d.1-2/input0
input: Logitech Logitech USB Speaker as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb5/5-1/5-1:1.2/input/input12
generic-usb 0003:046D:0A04.0002: input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.00 Device [Logitech Logitech USB Speaker] on usb-0000:00:1d.3-1/input2

but even when I configure the usb speakers with:

Code:

alsamixer -c 1

the speakers do not roar to life

. I suspect I am missing something basic here and I would dearly like to be able to switch easily between the hda intel and the logitech usb speakers...

Thanks,

Andrew

Do alsaconf as root, then select your usb speakers as main.
