Re: Plantronics 995
So the headset has arrived. I am using kubuntu 10.04 x86_64. I plugged the headset in and heard nothing, I then went to kde system settings --> multimedia and set the priority to this device as opposed to onboard audio. I then set kmix to control master channel to this device and PCM.
Everything worked as planned. However, Whenever I opened firefox/chrome all audio was passed out the speakers instead of headset. I then edited/created /etc/asound.conf to include the following:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card Audio
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card Audio
}
All worked after a browser restart. I then wanted to test recording of Mic. So i issued:
arecord -r 44100 -f S16_LE -D hw:1,0 foo.wav;
mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=1.0 foo.wav
The recording was crystal clear. Questions are?
Main reason I bought this was for gmail chat features, I installed the plugin and cannot record anything from MIC (tried all inputs on gmail side), nor can I hear any output.
Seeing as this is a headset - this seems exhausting, are/is there any other solution/idea?
