Hi all.
A week or more ago I posted about my interest in purchasing a
Plantronics USB headset and whether it might work under Linux. Thank
you to those who responded to that post.
On Friday, after receiving my copy of World of Warcraft, I decided I
needed to replace the dodgy analogue Plantronics headset I have with a
USB one. It seems the only computer store near my place in Melbourne's
CBD that stocked headsets was Harvey Norman and they only stocked
Logitech devices. I bought a Logitech® Premium USB Headset 350 and hoped for
the best. As expected it works well on Windows for WoW. :)
Tonight I decided to test it with Linux and I'm happy to report that
getting it to work with Fedora Core 4 was a simple case of plugging it
in.
Hot plug and udev did their jobs and I could instantly twiddle with the
mixer settings in Gnome Mixer and Audacity grabbed audio from /dev/dsp2
without a hitch. I'm well pleased.
Regards
