Bizarre failure of USB headset

#1 Post by ribault »

I have installed Debian 10 on a laptop and on a desktop. I am trying to use a Wantek USB headset (earphones + microphone). On both computers I observe the same bizarre failures:

- The earphones play the Skype ringtones, but no other sound from Skype or internet.
- The microphone passes the online microphone test https://www.onlinemictest.com/ , but not the Skype call test.

Checking parameters on Alsamixer, and installing firmware-linux-nonfree do not help. Both computers work well if I plug a non-USB headset with two coaxial connectors (one for microphone, one for earphones). The headset works well with Ubuntu 18.04 on another laptop.

Any ideas on explaining these symptoms, and curing the disease?

Run this command in both distributions:

Code: Select all

udevadm monitor
Then plug in the headset and compare & contrast the outputs in both to see what Ubuntu is doing differently.

Thank you for the suggestion. The main difference seems to be that Debian loads the two modules 'snd_seq_device' and 'snd_rawmidi', in addition to the two modules 'snd_usbmidi_lib' and 'snd_usb_audio' that Ubuntu also loads. See below for the raw outputs.

Which desktop is this?

Can we also see the output of this command with the headset plugged in:

Code: Select all

pacmd list-sinks

The data are not for the desktop (which I cannot access at the moment) but for two laptops. Here is now the output for the command 'pacmd list-sinks' that you suggest:
