the alsamixer configuration is fine, and I tried all the options in system, preferences, sound.

I have also tried many different programs but anyone recognize the headset.

it is curious that I can change the volume of the system with the button of the headset.

Any idea?

Thanks!

Try "sudo /usr/bin/alsaconf -c1". It may treat the device as a second sound card. If you have pulse audio, make sure that it is selected as the source.

It seems that I don't have this command in my system.

I have ubuntu 9.10, Gnome and alsa-utils and alsa-base installed.

There is a reason...

The command "alsaconf" no longer exists in Ubuntu.

Is there neither sound in the earphones nor from the microphone?

I only receive sound in the laptop speakers, not in the headset.

xatic, I meant to type the "alsamixer" command, but I don't know if you have it. This is how I got my usb mic to work. At the time, the kde mixer would show it but would mute it if you tried to change the level. The "-c1" option selects the second sound card, the USB mic.

If you have pulse audio, check if you have the "padevchooser" program.

My fixall, which normally works for me, is to run "alsaconf" to install any missing driver files and then run my distros (suse) sound config tool.
