I have the same issue. 
The audio from Steam is emitted from internal speaker instead from USB Sound 
Card. Left/Right test also emitted from internal speaker.
It is solved by doing tips on #41.
Thank you!

Title:
  External audio device shows up in the sound output options but the

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Selected audio output device in Settings is ignored after upgrading to
  Ubuntu 20.04.

  [Test Case]

  Start with an older version of Ubuntu like 19.04 or 19.10 and upgrade
  to 20.04. When done, attempt to connect a Bluetooth or USB audio
  device and use it via Settings.

  [Regression Potential]

  Unknown/low. The fix is from upstream and has already been released to
  Ubuntu 20.10 without any problems. Only worth noting it works by
  detecting and removing audio configurations made via older versions of
  PulseAudio. So upon upgrading some old settings may be reset to
  defaults, but the idea is that's less bad than audio devices being
  unusable (this bug).

  [Original Bug Report]

  Ubuntu version: focal dev
  Kernel version: 5.4.0-14-generic #17-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 6 22:47:59 UTC 2020
  Pulseaudio: 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu1
  Device CID: 201704-25503

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Connect an audio interface. I tried with BT headphones and speakers as 
well as a USB microphone/output.
  2. Make sure it's the one selected as "Output device"
  3. Click "Test"
      -> the test sound outputs from the internal laptop speakers (NOK)
  4. Select "Speakers - Built-in Audio" as Output device and click "Test"
      -> the test sound outputs from the internal laptop speakers (OK)
  5. Try to switch back to the BT device and click Test
      -> same result as in step 3

  Tested with 2 different BT devices (one headset and one speaker) as
  well as a USB audio interface (Zoom H2N microphone).

  Attached are btmon logs captured during the procedure described above,
  and pactl logs capture after step 7.

  I was previously using 19.04 and 19.10 on this device and never
  experienced this kind of issue.

  Up to this morning, it was harder to connect the BT device, but once
  connected, the sound would output on it as expected. Now, the BT
  connection seems to work better, but I can't output the sound to the
  BT device...

  I tried to reboot the device, and also to suspend/resume, but in each
  case, the BT device can connect back, but the sound is still output
  from the internal laptop speakers, even when the BT device is selected
  in the Sound settings.
