Ubuntu 12.10 No USB sound output for Audiolab Q-DAC

Ubuntu 12.10 No USB sound output for Audiolab Q-DAC

Recently I upgraded my sound system from using mobo's internal audio output to USB2.0 by connecting to a USB DAC (Audiolab Q-DAC). The first time connecting the UBUNTU 12.10 to USB DAC was successful, but after a system upgrade (apt-get update & upgrade). No sound output at all. I can still choose the USB Stereo output option in Pulseaudio control panel, but no sound output. It seems that the connection has been automatically muted. How can I un-mute it? Same problem exists even though I upgraded to 13.04.
I have dumped the output of the command "lspci" as follows:
