To configure audio of soundcard I did the following settings:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

I commented options snd-usb-audio index=-2

and added options snd_bcm2835 index=1

so speaker was properly working with usb sound card

now for microphone configuration I went to

sudo nano /etc/asound.conf

and did the following changes:

pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave {
        pcm "hw:1,0"
    }
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 1
}

using arecord only noise is recorded and also i am not able to play files through speakers.

I am using Storite 7.1 Channel USB External Sound Card Audio Adapter With Mic and r-pi B+ model

The trick is is in ~/.asoundrc

If you have already gone into /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and changed options snd-usb-audio index=-2 to options snd-usb-audio index=0 then:

First:

sudo nano ~/.asoundrc

Second:

Add

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
}

Then save and reboot your Pi.

This works because when you add options snd-usb-audio index=0 to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf it only sets your usb card at index 0, it doesn't enable it.

Cheers!
