The USB driver generates a stream which is sent to the USB headset, which then makes it in to sound.
The soundcard has nothing to do with that. (Otherwise, how can they work on soundcard-less machines, like my old DELL?) If the source is bad (for instance the crappy soundcard) then the USB headset won't make a difference. I have a logitech USB headset and a labtec USB headset, and love both. The Logitech has better audio though, so when using it to listen to music, etc., you'd better be looking at something similar. Or get a USB audio-device with input/output jacks, so you can plug in whatever you want... -- Francesco _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
