USB speakers on Dell Inspiron laptop with Lubuntu

[Henk Terhell]

My experience with USB speakers is that these do not start automatically 
in any ubuntu distro. The easiest solution to start these is to install 
pavucontrol (PulseAudio Volume Control) and under Configuration there 
switch other profiles off and switch USB audio device on.
