Description

I have heard a number of reports that USB headsets are not plug'n'play accessible. I personally have two headsets of different makes, and neither of them work properly.

If I plug a USB headset into a computer, it should route all audio (in and out) to the headset; in Ubuntu this does not happen without configuration. Windows does it flawlessly, all applications will be automatically configured, but not Ubuntu.

Users shouldn't have to resort to buying an audio-jack style headset to have easy support in Ubuntu.

Bug report. Not an idea. My Logitech USB headset works just fine without configuring anything.

Post bug reports on those. I've tried USB stuff too, and they have worked.

If you are referring to the Creative USB gear, don't get too excited about that, there isn't much we can do about that, and Creative is losing marketshare in a big way

Please make a bug report on Launchpad (link on the status box above) describing your problem, including the models of the headset that don't work.

Thanks
