usb headphones question

[Maurice McCarthy]

Josh

Are your headphones not listed in System - preferences - sound?
They shoud be if lsusb lists the headset.

You ought to be able to select them instead of the onboard sound.

As you have vinux then, another try is to plug them in and then in a
terminal do
$ sudo restoresound

Wait a couple of minutes to s ee if the script completes as it calls
quite a lot of other programs.

Good Luck
Maurice
