I needed a headset that doesn't use the standard headphone jack which has worn to the point where it is intermittent and will soon need pretty expensive service to work. So, I bought a Logitech h390 USB headset hoping that it would work on my openSuse 12.2 laptop (HP G72-B60US). I have all updates installed as of today.

I've really hit a wall here. Any pointers would be appreciated.
I think you need to look at what happens when the headset is plugged/unplugged. I agree, but I'd do it differently. Look at your log files as you plug and unplug the headset. There should be activity something like this which is what happens when I plug in the usb mouse) Nov 30 08:10:35 mainbox kernel: [ 1431.732036] usb 2-6: new low-speed USB device number 26 using ohci_hcd Nov 30 08:10:35 mainbox kernel: [ 1431.922310] usb 2-6: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=c01d Nov 30 08:10:35 mainbox kernel: [ 1431.922317] usb 2-6: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Nov 30 08:10:35 mainbox kernel: [ 1431.922320] usb 2-6: Product: USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse Nov 30 08:10:35 mainbox kernel: [ 1431.922323] usb 2-6: Manufacturer: Logitech Nov 30 08:10:35 mainbox kernel: [ 1431.934016] input: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-6/2-6:1.0/input/input12 Nov 30 08:10:35 mainbox kernel: [ 1431.934438] hid-generic 0003:046D:C01D.0001: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse] on usb-0000:00:02.0-6/input0 Nov 30 08:10:35 mainbox mtp-probe: checking bus 2, device 26: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-6" Nov 30 08:10:35 mainbox mtp-probe: bus: 2, device: 26 was not an MTP device Nov 30 08:10:37 mainbox kernel: [ 1434.597433] usb 2-6: USB disconnect, device number 26 What you're looking for is the bit like idVendor=046d, idProduct=c01d Now there may be some differneces in logging between 10.x, 11.x and 12.x Just soak that up :-) Somewhere, I forget but perhaps someone else remembers, there's a table that has the vendor/product entries that lets the system know what to do with such a device. If your headset isn't in that table then it needs to be. :-) Obviously.
