[SOLVED] USB headset not working

#1 Post by zatix »

I just installed Linux version 2.6.32-5-amd64 (Debian 2.6.32-35squeeze2) and everything is working but a Logitech USB headset.

When I plug it in it is properly recognized:

Code: Select all

$dmesg

[  320.685113] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio
Gnome also detected the USB headset:

And I also run gnome-alsamixer and made sure it wasn't muted.

I tried with different music players such as Rhythmbox and the headset doesn't emit any sound :(

I used to run Ubuntu and in the Sound settings of Gnome I could see an option to choose the hardware that the system is using to play. Maybe the music is being played in the sound card (that has no speaker attached). Could it be this?

Anybody has any idea?

many thanks.

In the gnome of another machine with ubuntu and another one with fedora when I execute gnome-volume-control I got the following window where I can choose the sound output, but I have nothing like that in my debian :(

Might we this the problem?


The output of my devices are:

Code: Select all

$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
                      HDA Intel PCH at 0xfb020000 irq 22

                      Logitech Logitech USB Headset at usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.7, full speed

I fixed the problem, for the record: I modified the /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf file and changed the default output card to the USB one.
