First, the wave device for voice modem is a purely windows device based in software. Linux could care less if your modem supports voice or not, and even if it does, it can't be interchanged with a sound card and vise versa as far as I know. About your headset, usb2.0 hardware is backward compatible with the 1.1, and maybe even the 1.0 standard, so there should be no reason for your headset not to work. As to whether or not linux will support your headset is a different story. > If there is a chip for sound on the motherboard with no connectors > hooked to it, I hope the Bios disabled it beyond Linux's reach as 98 never > detected it, even after a reformat. There is no such thing as an audio chip without external connecters. If there is, then I've never heard of it. > If I bought a speaker phone, I wonder if the modem > would power it and put speech through it? No, not even if you did have a phone line connected to the modem.
