No sound (USB speakers) in Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope

No sound (USB speakers) in Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 and have been unable to get sound functioning. I have a set of USB speakers (not USB powered with a stereo plug... they are totally USB).

"You may have to assign sound output to them with PulseAudio. There's a WIKI about configuring PulseAudio here, but it comes down to just a couple of steps:
1. Install pavucontrol, the PulseAudio volume control panel, and launch it. Switch to the playback tab.
2. Launch something that plays sound (like Totem). It should show the VU meter for the playback.
3. Right click on the VU meter and choose ""Move Stream... >"" You should be able to select your USB stuff if HAL detected it properly.

Good Luck!"
