I've had success with Plantronics headsets. In particular, the Plantronics DSP-500 works well. I've tested it with numerous ALSA releases, from 1.0.14 - 1.0.17 and some post-1.0.17 GIT builds. I've never had a mixer problem with it. This is just *me* speaking, of course, not alsa-project... any implied endorsement is my personal one alone ;-) Sean On Sat, Oct 25, 2008 at 5:16 AM, Jelle de Jong <jelledejong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Sean McNamara wrote: >> There is a *huge* (83 replies) thread in the alsa-devel ML archives >> about this problem.
