module-alsa-card.c: Failed to find a working profile.

[GitHub issues - opened]

alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #104 was opened from mhwombat:

I can get audio through my headphones, but not through my speakers.

Basic checks:

- Speakers work on another machine
- Speakers are plugged in and turned on
- Headphones are unplugged when using speakers
- My user account is in the audio group.
- Nothing is muted in alsamixer

I think the cause might be this `module-alsa-card.c: Failed to find a working profile.`

```
$ journalctl --user -u pulseaudio | tail -n 20

Dec 01 10:53:45 nixos pulseaudio[2160]: E: [alsa-sink-USB Audio] alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_usb_audio'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
