Usb Sound Card Playback Issues - Alsa [SOLVED]

Hey folks:)

Just want to say Archlinux is lovely and you guys are doing great work (if be it a little frustrating at times i might add)

My problem is that i can't configure my USB UA-25 sound card properly.

If i want to record with ardour, or hydrogen using JACK, everything is fine.

BUT.

If i want to play back a simple music file, or run 'youtube' for example, sound refuses to come out of my computer.

In system>preferences>sound the driver is set to ALSA.

How can i get sound to play back normaly through my externel sound card? I think Archlinux is trying to use my onboard laptop sound card.

Thanks!

Re: Usb Sound Card Playback Issues - Alsa [SOLVED]

fixed the probelm;

Had to reinstall alsa dirvers, removed all instances of 'usbaudio' from the modules. Reboot. modprobe snd-usb-audio. unmuted all mixers.
Selected alsa as the driver. Test. Yay! :"")
