I got the following external sound card to make some awesome noise with my speaker set. It should be plug and play, but it so happens that when I plug it in and hook everything up, there's no sound at all. The speaker set I have works if I plug it in the laptop directly (or rather, if I plug the front speakers cable as I can't plug anything else).

Would anyone know how I can workaround this problem and make full use of this external sound card on my Ubuntu 12.04 system?

Plus, as if to taunt me, when I click on the button on the soundcard (which I believe is meant to mute and unmute it), I got a popup in Ubuntu showing that the sound has been muted or unmuted. However, that's just a popup, the sound remains unaffected (in fact I was playing music and it didn't stop). – Ederico Jul 19 '12 at 18:37
Hello? Anyhone has any idea? – Ederico Aug 24 '12 at 16:46
