    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?
