USB Sound Adapter

I just bought a USB sound adapter 7.1 channel and it works well on windows but it doesn't work on Ubuntu as the sound is still getting out from the laptop speakers. How to solve this problem? I have Ubuntu Gnome 16.04

You can use pavucontrol and paprefs to control the volume, and the output devices.

To install them use:

sudo apt install pavucontrol paprefs

Then run it from the dashboard, or from terminal, and select the output device.
