Following the wiki I had to use OSS because of ALSA would not work. I install oss in my /home/user/AUR/ folder I have for making packages from ABS and AUR. I then added myself to the audio group just incase I wasn't for whatever reason. I am using a Behringer xenyx 302 Mixer. My set up goes from motherboard to mixer then out of the mixer to speakers. This setup worked on a previous OS so I know its not that.
I installed OSS from /home/user/AUR/oss with pacman -U. I made the entry in alsa_blacklist.conf as it instructed but when I enter
ossdetect -v This comes out

I installed audiopulse and it looks real nice an all but it won't detect my usb mixer.
I found this in "dmesg"
[ 3.167429] input: Burr-Brown from TI USB Audio CODEC as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-2/2-2:1.3/0003:08BB:2902.0002/input/input3

It detects my hdmi port on my graphics card. Its almost as if audiopulse only likes pci. I've tried searching just about all types of searches but its for headsets and bluetooth.

This is more suited for Multimedia & Games forums.
@OP why exactly do you want to use oss? What part of wiki that you mentioned, do you mean? Link it here. PA is a sound server that runs on top of a sound architecture, so if the underlying system does not recognize your hardware, the system above will not also.
Edit: Clarification.

I used OSS because I couldnt get alsa to work so I thought as an alternative. I was following these for alsa, oss, and pulseaudio
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Alsa
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OSS
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pulseaudio
It don't really matter to me what I use just as long as it works. I was just trying all and anything I could find.

How exactly does is not work with alsa? Can you pinpoint the part in the alsa wiki? I would start with alsa again, oss has reputation for poor usb support, which is what you want.
Edit:
OSS has experimental output support for USB audio devices, but no input.

Is this an usb audio card/mixer? Or do you run on internal motherboard audio card?
If it's an usb audio card, for alsa, you should try to configure your alsa-base.conf file, putting -1 infront of usb-snd... something. My system always loads the default mainboard audio, so i always have to tinker with the alsa-base.conf file, so that it would load my audio card first.

@NotaName then use alsa runtime and environment variables. The module is called snd-usb-audio not usb-snd... something.

I changed the order of the alsa-base file and it caused my system to not start it would hang with a bunch of random code like maybe hex values or something it zipped by so I couldnt read anything. I had to use live disk to remount partitions and chroot back in to change it back to what it was. So strange

Start using some methodology, not hit and run attempts. Uninstall oss, delete any configuration associated with it. [Re]Install alsa, delete any configuration associated with it including any /etc/modprobe.d/*alsa* settings. Run this after a reboot:
aplay -lL;
lspci -vvnn | grep -A1 '040[1-3]';
cat /proc/asound/modules;
for i in $(awk '{print $2}' /proc/asound/modules | sort | uniq); do echo "--- $i ---"; systool -vm $i; done;
lsmod | grep ^snd;
fuser -v /dev/snd/*;
for i in /proc/asound/card[0-9]*; do echo "--- $i ---";amixer -c $(cat $i/id); done;
lsusb #if there is a usb sound card;
# or use the alsa-info scriptSkip what you already posted. Which is your usb card from the lsusb output? Run speaker-test to check if alsa is functioning properly. Right now PA is not needed and will be interfering.

Speaker test does not give any sound
Offline
Post its output and edit your posts instead of new ones for one sentence. The usb card appears to be recognized, but its volume are low ~-20 dB. Does it show up in 'alsamixer -c 2'?

Ok so I just plugged in my line in to my motherboard and it gave sound. I have it like this
Yes it showed up and I upped the levels.
line in /usb----> motherboard

If I understand it correctly you connected the output of the mainboard sound card to the input of the usb card/mixer. That is the VT1708S Analog, so alsa works properly. Now try sending audio to the usb card directly:
speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -D plughw:CODECI do not understand the last part, nor do I know about any headphone button.

Yes the VT is the motherboard
Sorry I didn't clarify. The headphone button on this mixer switches between headphone and main mix, main mix being the output to the speakers. I still dont think its being communicated through USB. The line-in is for mp3 players and other things like that. It should be communicating through usb then going through the main mix. Instead of going through line in.

Well does the last speaker-test output sound through the Behringer*? Have you corrected the volume levels that 'amixer -c 2' outputs? This might be directly related to the driver, it simply may not support certain functions [yet]. In which case you should head to alsa mailing list and ask there.
Edit: Is there any sound coming out with speaker-test -t wav -c 2 -D plughw:CODEC? If so, it goes through the usb device, which means it works.

Yes there is sound. More interestingly, it only works when doing the test as youtube and others wont. Im sorry I have no idea where that is changed to alsa to what the USB is and what I've been trying to figure out all day.

That is because the VT1708S Analog is the default card, all sound goes through it, unless specified otherwise. As I mentioned before, alsas runtime arguments and environment variables could be used here, but that requires a little setup. Maybe it would be simpler for you to use pulseaudio here. It has a module that switches sound to newly attached sink, which would be the usb card. You could use pavucotrnol also. I already asked if the sound card appears in alsamixer, you did not reply.
alsamixer -c CODEC;
#or
alsamixer -c 2; # in this case at at least
amixer -c CODEC; # to get current settings
amixer -c CODEC sset PCM 128; # to set PCM to 128Offline
Yes its in there as USB AUDIO CODEC with MIXER below it. It works now, though the headphone button still don't I suppose its better than nothing. Thanks for your help

If you run the last speaker-test and change the volume, the volume of the sound should also change. There are two buttons for the LINE/USB section. Both should be down, while speaker-test is running, then sound should come out of the headphone output jack in the HEADSET section, unless there are more controls that I am not aware of. And this probably has little to nothing to do with the drivers, I would argue the hardware takes care of mixing those particular signals.

I just rebooted my computer and tried it again and everything works!!! Man I can't thank you enough really appreciate it. How can I set this thread to solved ?
