Run "alsamixer" (it's a command-line tool) and in the text UI that 
appears, press F6, select your USB audio device, and then check if it's 
muted or the volume is 0.

PulseAudio generally uses the ALSA sound mixer to change volumes, but 
not always. For some devices, it uses a software volume control that 
doesn't use the ALSA volume controls. So if those are set to 0, there 
will never be any sound.
