| I have a Logitech USB Headset. It worked fine on Kubuntu 13.04, 64 bits, but not on Kubuntu 14.04, 64 bits. When I plug in the headset, Kmix does not show it on the master channel window (Right click on Kmix icon at system tray --- Select Master Channel...). But, when I restart the computer, with the headset plugged in, then, it appears in the Kmix Master channel window. On Kubuntu 13.04, it appears when I plug it at any moment, no restart is required. The following appear when I open KSystemLog and plug the USB Headset: 05/16/14 10:52:23 PM GTRONICK kernel [10074.604429] usb 2-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 12 using ehci-pci 05/16/14 10:52:24 PM GTRONICK kernel [10074.703476] usb 2-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=0a0b 05/16/14 10:52:24 PM GTRONICK kernel [10074.703488] usb 2-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 05/16/14 10:52:24 PM GTRONICK kernel [10074.703495] usb 2-1.2: Product: Logitech USB Headset 05/16/14 10:52:24 PM GTRONICK kernel [10074.703500] usb 2-1.2: Manufacturer: Logitech 05/16/14 10:52:24 PM GTRONICK kernel [10074.735240] input: Logitech Logitech USB Headset as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2:1.3/input/input24 05/16/14 10:52:24 PM GTRONICK kernel [10074.735545] hid-generic 0003:046D:0A0B.0008: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.00 Device [Logitech Logitech USB Headset] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.2/input3 05/16/14 10:52:24 PM GTRONICK mtp-probe checking bus 2, device 12: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2" 05/16/14 10:52:24 PM GTRONICK mtp-probe bus: 2, device: 12 was not an MTP device 05/16/14 10:52:24 PM GTRONICK rtkit-daemon[1843] Successfully made thread 4108 of process 2129 (n/a) owned by '1000' RT at priority 5. 05/16/14 10:52:24 PM GTRONICK rtkit-daemon[1843] Supervising 7 threads of 2 processes of 1 users.

You might try a different mixing utility. Veromix, a replacement for KMix, provides better control over Phonon. I use it to route input to and output from my VoIP software through my USB headset.
Install the package plasma-widget-veromix. Then, edit ~/.kde/share/config/kmixrc and set Autostart to false. Finally, remove KMix from and add Veromix to your system tray. -
Thanks for you fast answer. But i have made it work, for some strange reason it is now working fine.
[UPDATES]----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After computer reboot with the Headset plugged in, the headset work fine. I have removed it from PC, then replug it, and work again, KMix show it. Now it detects it at any moment!. Is something strange.
HAHA! I have detected something strange, if I reboot the computer without the Headset plugged in, Kmix show it when I plug it in. But, if I have the headset plugged in, and go to the KMix icon, and select master channel, and then, select the default laptop sound hardware, then, if I unplug the Headset ant replug it, it is NOT shown on KMix master channel window. And here is the solution!:
If Headset is not detected on Kmix Master channel window, do the Following:
first unplug the Headset, if it was plugged in before...
- Right click on KMix icon on system tray.
- Click on "Select Master Channel..."
- Clik on the round check button, left to the name of the default listed Hardware (Make sure you click on the round button! it must be filled)
- Close the Master Channel window
- Plug the Headset in.
- Go to KMix master channel chooser again
- Now, the Headset must be shown
I suppose that is a software bug, related to KMix, but I am not sure.
Also, I will try you recommendations!, Thanks a lot!!!!
PD: I love KubuntuComment
