Many thanks for the hint. I completely overlooked that fact that the 
little MM stands for mute, once I activated that by pressing the m-key 
the sound started to work. Now I still have one problem:
When I suspend the computer then the sound stops, which still is kind of 
annoying, because it means that either the computer needs to be swiched 
on, or i need to unplug the USB cable just to listen to the radio. Does 
pulseaudio or alsa set the sound to back to mute before suspending, or 
is this an issue of the USB sound card?
