Hi Steve,
are you still going mad with that headset.
I think I have an identical one, using ubuntu 9.04 32 bit.
(but I have self-compiled ALSA drivers/libs/plugins because I'm
developing drivers, so YMMV with the distro standard ones)
It works fine. I mostly use it with Skype rather than for
have it set up so that pulseaudio *should* be transmitting to all
available sound devices.
pulseaudio sees both the nvidia support that's driving my (audio)
headphones, and the USB headset.
The headset will not receive any audio from any of the usual suspects -
amarok, audacious, totem, mplayer
went back to a
corded (non usb) headset.
Dan offered up the plantronics ones, and I've ordered a flash-as USB
Dect ear piece to try out...

I have found the Plantronics ones the best.
The USB DSP Audio Interface has been recognised in a host of different *nix
boxes I have built over time. Even substituting for soundcards on a couple
of occasions.

Yes it has been answered. Any device that is a standard usb-audio device
will work, and most of them are.

Yup.
And back to the original question, does anyone use a USB headset on
Linux that isn't a large logitech one?
Have you considered a blue tooth unit?
