USB mic + headphone, no sound.

#1 Post by sunburnt »

Installed Racy-5.5 on a HP laptop.

Much to my surprise the USB headphones worked great.
The next day the mic. works but the headphones don`t.

I`ve never used USB sound equipment before so I`m lost.

Why would the sound out stop working but the mic. in work?

Not sure about recent pups like racy 5.5, but I had a somewhat similar issue with a usb headset (headphone + boom mic). A few times it was the 'first found' sound device (rather than the soundcard proper) and so I had to prefer the actual soundcard ~or~ simply blacklist the usb headset (regular headphones output and standard mic/line input were fine).

Check alsamixer to see if the soundcard proper is being used as the primary.

Yeah, it's odd that a headset would do that .. but like you mentioned it's usb, so :?

At least get the ball rolling :idea: on this topic

Thanks `f00 for the starting point.

I look at the tray`s "Cofig. Window" "Hardware" tab.
"Sound Card" setting is "hw:0".

I`m not sure what to make of it or what to do.
Maybe try "hw:1" in it`s place?

Sunburnt- what's the hardware? If they work live, get the output from 'lsmod' and compare it with your install.

Semme; I`m not sure what you`re saying, they worked in Win7.
They`re USB headphones so only good for the PC.

It`s a HP G60 notebook.
