I have a machine into which I have plugged a pair of USB speakers (some model by Trust). Happily, they worked out of the box. That is, the proper drivers were automatically loaded and the devices accept sound from programs like xmms. (Linux is just getting to be less challenging these days...)
KDE is a different issue. If I tell KDE to use a specific audio device (e.g., /dev/dsp1 - my USB speakers - instead of /dev/dsp), I can get it to play its test sound to that device. However, nothing I do can make KDE generally use this device. Restart KDE and it is back to using /dev/dsp. kmix shows the USB speakers, so KDE does know about them, but the sound is not coming from them.
Is there some magic to getting KDE to use a specified audio device?
On a related note, is there some magic to prevent my laptop's speaker from playing sound when my ear phones are plugged in? On other systems, when my ear phones are plugged in, the speakers are muted. I'm not getting it on this particular laptop. Any solutions?
