Hans, could you explain the device=hw part to me please.
I have not figured out how to easily switch between my onboard sound and the USB headset on a system-wide basis.
It seems quite a few of us are in that same boat. I fianlly finished going through all of the hits on google (logitch usb headset+250) and it's an outstanding question, I didn't see anyone who mentioned that it had been resolved. Well, it's fine for me, actually, because I use the headset for Skype only. If I want to listen to music through it I can switch my music
Not really. I looked at the MPlayer docs, and it gave that format, and then looked at how Audacious named the USB headset, and just copied. I assume the number before the period corresponds to /dev/dspx but I don't know what the number after it means. player, same for MPlayer, but aside from that there isn't much in the way of sounds going on on my notebook. I always switch off system sounds. Hans
