    [Ubuntu 9.10] No output sound from USB Headset.

    Hello.
    I have Ubuntu 9.10, and am trying to get my headset to work with it. It's a USB headset, not a bluetooth headset. Anyway, the input is working. I switched my input from my internal mic to my USB one in my sound settings, and that fixed that. However, even if I set my output device to the USB, it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any advice? It works on Windows.

    The headset is: Planet UP-100, Genius G-Talk
    Here's lsusb:
    Code:
    Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c517 Logitech, Inc. LX710 Cordless Desktop Laser
    Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0d8c:000e C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter (Planet UP-100, Genius G-Talk)
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

    I don't run 9.10. Run 8.04 LTS. Just curious if you have alsamixer settings set right for headset. You can type in Terminal


    Code:
    alsamixer
    Use the arrow keys to adjust volumn and cycle through controls. Use m key to mute and unmute. Use space bar for enableing r/h and l/h control. Use tab key to cycle thru alsa mixers different settings.

    I'll try this when I am home.
