Hi Lonnie, I'm currently discussing this upstream, and confirmed it is a regression. Hopefully it'll be fixed in PulseAudio 3.0, which is going to be used in Ubuntu 13.04.

You see, in Ubuntu 12.04, my ArtDio NB-005B USB Speakers worked fine. However, after upgrading to 12.10 Beta2, they still appear under that "Sound Settings" > "Output" menu, but once selected the audio continues to play out of my laptops internal speakers. Normally, I choose a package to report a bug, but I'm not sure how to report this type of thing. Please advise best practices.
