Thread: Beginner question re running PC wireless headset

hi,
have switched ubuntu 10.04 windows xp. have wireless headset (maq pc31 2,4g) wit usb dongle installed drivers on xp plug n play. there way can run headset on ubuntu.

regards,

bastun

it's pity you've installed 10.04 instead of more up-to-date ubuntu little easier.

if device works "plug 'n' play" on windows xp, uses standard drivers , work on ubuntu. windows pretends searching drivers , downloading correct one, it's slow in loading standard driver comes with!

in order switch input , output headset on ubuntu 10.04, need little utility called padevchooser, , need run it:

code:

sudo apt-get install padevchooser padevchooser

the first line installs it, second line runs it.

won't open window yet, adds icon top panel, looks audio jack.

that's as can remember; left-clicking icon opens menu, , there's menu item opens window. window allows set headset main audio device, or device particular program. powerful utility.

i'm running 11.10 @ moment has easier-to-use alternative preinstalled, unfortunately can't talk through exact steps padevchooser. enough information figure out rest of it.

best support might want consider sticking latest ubuntu, in future.
