[Solved] No sound with usb audio card

[Preator]

Hello,

I am hardly trying to have sound with a USB audio card with my raspberry pi model B+. I have followed this tutorial : http://computers.tutsplus.com/articles/ ... -mac-55876 but I still have no sound. I've got a X-Mini II speaker with this usb audio card. I have tested the speaker on my windows and it works correctly.

What should I do to have sound on my pi mobel B+?

I assume that since you said that you followed the guide but did not report any problems then everything appeared to work as shown in that guide.
So, apart from a mistake like not plugging in the cable enough then it could be that the volume was not set high enough via alsamixer (last step in the guide) or not enough electrical power (could try connecting via a powered hib if you have one).

Ok I tried with sonic pi and I do have sound. But when I try a command like espeak, or to read a wav file with VLC, I have no sound.

They might be sending their sound via the analogue socket - try plugging mini headphones or power speakers into it and see if you hear anything there.

I've solved the problem by removing pulseaudio (sudo apt-get --purge remove pulseaudio).

Thanks for the help
