Thanks Stanislav, I was able to fix this by following your instructions. Here's my fix for the Plantronics .Audio 626 DSP:
1. Put this in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-plantronics.rules: ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="xorg_plantronics_end" KERNEL!="event*", GOTO="xorg_plantronics_end" ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}=="047f", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="c006", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEY}="1" ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}=="047f", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="c006", RUN+="keymap $name 0xc00e9 volumeup 0xc00ea volumedown 0xb002f micmute" LABEL="xorg_plantronics_end" 2. Reload udev: sudo udevadm control --reload 3. Unplug the headset and plug it back in -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006156 Title: Mute button on USB headset steals and holds on to mouse focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/1006156/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
