Bug#851826: pulseaudio: USB headset detected, but no sound

[Michael Haag]

Not sure what you mean by "output sink". My output devices (according to
pulseaudio) are: "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" and "Logitech G430
Headphones". Both are enabled with volume at 100%, but I only have sound
through my external speakers.

Note also the problem is ONLY with USB. When I have the headset plugged
in using the analog jacks (no USB converter) everything works as
expected.

The REALLY odd thing is I DO have sound (both mic and headphone) when
using Windows 7 in a guest VM, whether or not I'm using the USB
converter. Unfortunately, the sound is slightly garbled/unclear, as if
interrupted or slightly delayed. This means I can no longer use my Thai
language software (Windows only) to practice pronunciation.
