If you go to edit->preferences it comes up in the devices tab.  About a
third of the way down the page is playback device and recording
device.  If you click on the selection arrow, you should find default
and pulse, and all your other devices.  Mine are set to default, but if
yours is set the same and it still isn't working, then try pulse.
Default selects the default device that is the interface between pulse
and alsa, usually device 0, which in your case is what you want, the
analog hardware.  However, given that the default from your initial
data was device 12, default might not work in your case. 

Try that, if it still doesn't work, it probably isn't going to be
trivial to get your setup working because there is probably a reason
that device 12 was selected as default instead of device 0.  It will
require finding that reason and correcting it, if possible.
