Using USB sound in Ubuntu

[Jerry Matheny]

I'm not sure. I just connected the USB headset to the computer and  
booted up the live cd with accessibility support so Orca should have  
come up talking through it. Not sure what else I should try. Any help  
would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance,

Jerry
