Bose Revolve Soundlink USB output no sound

I am trying to get my Bose Revolve Soundlink to work trough USB (Bluetooth and AUX works fine). Using it trough USB on Windows works fine too.

The speakers get detected just fine, but when I change to the correct output device there is no sound.

I have two output profiles to change between in pavucontrol: "Analog Stero" and "Digital Stero (IEC958)". none of them work.

Any help is appreciated.

For anyone having the same issue, I solved my own problem.

edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and add:

default-sample-format = s16le
default-sample-rate = 48000

The important part here is to set the sample rate to 48000 I believe.

Another strange note: With analog profile selected, it works only if the audio is EXACTLY 100%. and a nice way to do testing is running the command aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav
