Public bug reported: USB Headphones do not play test audio from the "Sound" section of the configuration application if either of the following are true: 3.5mm speakers are plugged into port HDMI Monitor is attached to computer
VLC Media player is able to properly choose and play through the USB headphones even if both of the above scenarios occur. Removing the HDMI monitor and unplugging the 3.5mm speakers allows the headphones to work as expected. Rebooting the PC with the USB device plugged in does not make a difference in output. The "Sound" section of the configuration page shows the list of output devices exactly as you would expect. Selecting the headphones from the list of output devices and choosing "Test" does not produce sound if either of the above conditions are true.
