Yes. The USB device, Unitek Y-247A, is enabled and the other two devices are Off.

It shows System Sounds* at 100% volume, no matter what I select in the lower right corner. The options there are All Streams, Applications and Virtual Streams. I don't see an output device on this tab.

No sound at all.

Pavumeter shows Front Left and Front Right, with no activity on either. It correctly shows Analog Stereo going to the Y-247A.
