Ben,

The headset is not a USB device as far as I know.

Anywho, I bought a USB external sound card that has jacks for headphone and
microphone. Since it's a separate card I expect that either a) it will
accommodate the headset when I plug it in or 2) I'll still need to futz with
either pavucontrol and/or alsamixer. I'm rooting for choice a.

I'm surprised it's this difficult to get a mixer working since apparently
all (at least most) linux distros ship with pulseaudio and still support
alsamixer.

The trials and tribulations of a late-comer to webcasts and video phone
conferences.

Thanks,

Rich
