Configuring sound on a usb headset on 14.1
 
I have a usb headset, microsoft lifechat LX 3000, and am trying to get it setup. It's recognized and I set change its priority in the audio setup in the kmixer control, but the sound still comes through the speakers on my laptop.

Any ideas how I can get them set up? I've had them working without a problem in other distros.

make a .asoundrc file in your home folder, with the information from "aplay -l"
mine is:
Quote:

pcm.!default {
type hw
card LX3000
device 0
}

ctl.!default {
type hw
card LX3000
device 0
}
that would put the headset as primary audio output.

... or if you don't want to use the onboard card, blacklist the relevant module.

I had a similar problem and decided to blacklist it completely:


Code:

blacklist snd-hda-intel
The above is the contents of my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Thanks for your help guys. Creating the .asoundrc file worked perfectly.

I have a Logitech G35 USB Headset, and had the very same problem Bertman did. I googled for a solution, and same up with much the same solution as cisneros, except I didn't use the model name in my file.

Here's my .asoundrc file:

Code:

pcm.!default {
        type hw
        card 2
}
ctl.!default {
        type hw
        card 2
}

You get the same result, though.

Note: This works for games too, like Quake I and Unreal Tournament 2004 (Both of which I play on occasion!)

Just thought I'd share this.

Regards,

Matt
