If you have synaptic or Software Center, you want pavucontrol installed. 
For whatever reason, this crucial package is NOT installed by default. 
It is what sets up pulse to your hardware. Works a blooming charm. 
Anything related to USB and sound has worked perfectly for me, from USB 
headphones to USB Webcams with built in Mikes. It picks up on them as 
soon as you insert them.

I think you'll be happy as a clam once you have pavucontrol installed. 
Let us know if this fixes it for you. Ric
