Try using qasmixer. It is in the repository
On the RightHandSide under mixer device, selest HW:card
Below it will show the equivalent of cat /proc/asound/cards

Im my case, the HDMI outputs are one(LHS)of my dual monitors. YMMV, but
HDMI is usually a hard card#0 when there is a HDMI device in your
system.

What worked to turn on sound in my HDMI was I selected that device in
qasmixer and ticked/marked all of the IEC958 items listed there. That
meant that programs which ignore settings in ~/.asoundrc (user) or
0/etc/asound.conf (system) now had "sound".That is only steam in my
case. YMMV.

What is your USB device?

I'm finding that any USB sound device randomly disconnects. So far the
problem is persistent across a Sound Blaster 6X, a Simplecom 16in1
hub/docking station and an mbeat dongle.
