Just ensure the mixer volume levels are set correctly for the > USB headset. I've found that I sometimes need to also check the underlying ALSA mixers using the "alsamixer" command. Often the USB headset I've plugged in after boot is now the second sound device, so counting from zero, I need to use "alsamixer -c 1" to see its settings. Once I have them set, I can use "alsactl store 1" (as root) to make the settings persistent for the next time I plug the USB headset in. This strange usability situation should be greatly relieved by the unified PulseAudio volume control work that Lennart Poettering is doing for Fedora 11: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VolumeControl http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/WritingVolumeControlUIs -- Paul W.
