Hi Folks. For some unknown reason my plantronics headset makes nasty noises when I'm trying to record voice. Lots of background hum etc. On my laptop the hum is unusably bad. On my media box it isn't so bad. Anyway, I thought I might get a USB Plantronics headset to replace this one. I'm thinking it being a pure digital device the hummmmmm might be avoided. Anyway, I did a little Google for Linux and Plantronics DSP-500 and came up short. It appears to work but people seem to have problems integrating existing soundcards and the USB audio device. Most of these web pages mention old distross or kernels. Has anyone used a recent 2.6 kernel with ALSA and had joy getting two sound cards (or USB audio + sound card) to work well? Thanks. -- Oliver Jones > Roving Code Warrior > http://www.deeperdesign.com/

I had the rather unpleasant experience of trying to make my Tascam USB Audio Interface work on by 64-bit Ubuntu machine recently. I wiki'd my experience at: http://www.wlug.org.nz/TascamAudioInterface Long story short, it all works nicely now and I've not had a single problem since doing the initial setup. I had three sound devices attached to this machine for a time (on board audio, a PCI sound card and the USB Tascam), and that seemed to work fine. I was able to make Audacity record from one device and playback through another, for example. Gian
