Last week I sent the following message:

Since then I upgraded to 6.0, and took the chance of buying
a pair of USB speakers, which do not work. My USB works, and
the speakers are drawing a current when plugged in, but I do
not get any music through them. (Audio in general works fine;
I can get sound of out the built-in speakers or through 
headphones and so forth, but I want to use USB speakers to
avoid batteries or a separate power cord.)

I've googled further but still not found anything helpful.
Is there anything I can do to get these to work?

Thanks for any suggestions.
