A few months short of THREE years later, this issue is still there in
Ubuntu 14.04 .

I see the iMic when I hotplug it, but only as a device. Pulseaudio does
not assign it to either sink or source (while the device provides both).
Using pavucontrol I do see 3 possible configurations in the
configuration tab: stereo, mono and off. But those don't serve a
purpose.

Title:
  Hotplug of iMic USB soundcard does not always produce a viable audio
  output --Precise upgrade

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Problem:
  Hotplug of iMic USB soundcard does not always produce a viable audio output on Precise upgrade

  Steps to reproduce
  -boot up with iMic plugged in
  -unplug iMic
  -wait a minute
  -plug the iMic back in
  -select the iMic as output in the system sound preference pane

  Result
  -no audio via iMic
  -audio continues via build in speakers

  Expected results
  -audio  via iMic
  -audio via build in speakers should cut off

  
  Work around:
  Runs fine if the computer has booted with the iMic plugged in.
  or
  reboot with iMic plugged in

  
  iMic hardware details:
  Griffin Technology, Inc iMic USB audio system, the earlier model if I recall.  The following terminal command apparently reveal only the internal sound card.

  dmesg | grep sound
  HDA Intel SPDIF

  Both lsusb | grep audio and lsusb | grep sound don't retrieve any
  info, which is odd because the system sound preference pane lists the
  iMic device as an output.
