Yesterday, I upgraded my Ubuntu OS to 8.04, and reinstalled the latest flash player from Adobe. Flash started working and I could see the YouTube videos, but there was no sound!
Actually, the sound does work if I connect speakers to the sound card. But I prefer to use the USB headphones, so that it doesn't bother others around me. And the USB works with most applications I use except for Firefox flash plugin which is used to play YouTube videos.
So, I spent few hours on Google and found a solution -
- Set the default sound device to "USB Audio" in System -> Preferences -> Sound
- Open Terminal and type - "asoundconf list" to see the sound devices. Hit [Enter] You should see a device named "default". This is the USB audio device because that's what you set the default to in the previous step.
- Then type - "asoundconf set-default-card default". Hit [Enter]

I did it, and now my computer dont play on it speakers!
how can I change back the configurations!?
Sorry, I did not understand your question. Do you mean that it works on USB speakers and not on Computer speakers? If that's the case then just follow the same steps to change the default to your sound card driver.
