Enabling usb headset via yast2/sound breaks audio due to some permission problem that arises. Disabling it again does not restore audio functionality.

The usb headset is this:
C-Media Electronics, Inc. CM108 Audio Controller


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert usb headset into computer
2. Check pavucontrol, no headset there but old audio works
3. Enter yast2/sound
4. Usb sound shows up as a disabled soundcard
5. Enable it as casrd nbr 1
6. Test sound plays ok
7. Enter pavucontrol again, only dummy sound output shows up
8. Cannot play any sound (reboot makes no difference) (disabling it again makes no difference either)

How I fixed it:
9. Add curent user, pulse and pulse-access to audio group
10. Restart
11. Pulseaudio works again

Actual Results:  
No sound

Expected Results:  
Sound

This version of openSUSE changed to end-of-life (EOL [1]) status. As such
it is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates.
As a result we are closing this bug.

openSUSE, or consider the bug still valid, please feel free to reopen this
bug against that version, or open a new ticket.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed
during the lifetime of the release.
