Looks like you've only got drivers loaded for your onboard sound chip.

Have a look at kernel messages when you plug in the device (you can use
the dmesg command for this).

You should then see what kind of device it is, and from there work out
what driver you need.

Hopefully it's a standard USB audio device - I think there's a generic
driver for these within ALSA.
