I'm in need of help. Why does my speaker doesn't work?

My speaker model is Edifier. Its output is USB cable. It can be use until recently I bought a new stereo headset with microphone using USB output too. I can use both until my computer cannot detect any speaker. When I see through the Sounds and Audio Devices settings, it says no audio device. It shows Modem #0 line playback as my default speaker and microphone output. But when I open windows media player to play some song, I can hear it through my Edifier speaker. When I play movies in youtube, I can't hear any sound. There's no speaker icon on my taskbar. Please tell me what's wrong with my computer.

    If you are using LINUX just run the HW manager and select your device.

    But, if you are running one of Microsoft products then it is a bit complicated:

    1. Open the Start Menu

    2. Click on Control Panel

    3. Double click on 'Audio and Sound devices' (or something like that)

    4. Select the Audio tab

    5. Change the default audio device to the one you want.
