Post subject: usb sound

hi,

i've got a logitech usb headset. when plugged into ubuntu, it automatically works.

when plugged into parsix, the system/pref/sounds shows that its working fine. however, none of the apps (vlc player, iceweasel in youtube etc.) will play sound through the headset.

does anyone know how to solve this problem?

thanks

this may or may not be helpful, but to get headphones (1/8" headphone jack) to work on parsix, i had to go into Sound & Video >> Volume Control and turn up the headphone slider. it was turned all the way down for some reason.

ok, that totally messed my sound icon up, which is permanently on mute now.

i changed the device on apps/sound video/sound control to logitech usb headset (alsa), and now I can't use the sound icon on the panel.

it didn't have any effect on sound output.

then, i changed vlc audio output module to alsa and vlc works fine through headset. (would be great if it would auto-switch between headset or speakers depending if headset was plugged in, but it doesn't auto-switch!)

the rest of the system, including iceweasel still don't play through the headset.

why can't this just work like ubuntu does?

see this method found here.

Quote:

try this in a terminal:

lsmod | grep snd

Did you see snd-usb-audio?

if not try the following as superuser:
modprobe snd-usb-audio

note: i would boot with the device plugged in first, then try the above.

ok, it can work in vlc (although no autodetect) - but is there any way to make usb work in parsix generally?

thanks
