aleko74's work around is fine if we are OK with not using the buttons on the headset.
Ideally I would love to use the buttons on the USB headset for mute/unmute, talk/end, vol up/down buttons. Also, I have three different USB headsets two Logitect and one plantronics and the behavior is the same. The headsets work great till I press any button on the headset. Once pressed, the mouse becomes un-clickable till I pull the headset out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006156 Title: Mute button on USB headset steals and holds on to mouse focus Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I press the mute button on my USB headset (Plantronics .Audio 626 DSP), it steals the "mouse focus" and holds onto it until I press the mute button again. Expected: - microphone is muted - nothing else happens Actual: - microphone is muted - mouse can still move but is unresponsive to clicks - pressing the keyboard doesn't do anything (except for Ctrl+Alt+F1 which does work and switch to virtual console) I'm not sure this is filed against the right package, please reassign if it's not. Also, I'm happy to provide more info, but I wasn't sure what I could provide (even after reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting/). This is on a fully up-to-date Precise 12.04 system.
