It is actually a logitech wireless headset with mic I use for skype and only skype.
Right now I did a fresh install of Ubuntu Jaunty 64bit and redid everything I had learned in the first go around and it works perfect now. I was using 32 bit before wonder if that made any difference. Now the only thing I have to do is get this Ipod Touch working.
