Exactly, it isn't a 'sound' device at all. It has a USB plug and plain old headset/microphone cables which have to be put into the soundcard. The pad itself has connectors for the headset/microphone, but those are simply forwarded to the soundcard (there's the 'mute' button which can be used to mute the microphone, and a volume wheel, but that's all it can do with the sound). > > So it's just a trivial HID device with probably a bit strange report > descriptor, it seems to me.
