Logitech usb headset not usable is some apps

The device works fine in some apps (skype) but not in others (xlite, kiax, audacity). In the apps that it doesn't work you only see the default sound card /dev/dsp. There are no entries for /dev/dsp1 or /dev/dsp2. Very strange. It's not the headset because it works fine on another computer running Kanotix.
cat /proc/asound/cards shows the following:
0 [SI7012 ]: ICH - SiS SI7012
SiS SI7012 with ALC655 at 0xe000, irq 19
1 [UART ]: MPU-401 UART - MPU-401 UART
MPU-401 UART at 0x330, irq 10
2 [Headset ]: USB-Audio - Logitech USB Headset
Logitech Logitech USB Headset at usb-0000:00:03.1-1, full speed

You are not alone!!
Same problem with Plantronics.
I just bought their Audio 648 Stereo USB Headset and have exactly the same issue you mention at the outset:
Essentially, while my [Plantronics Audio 648] Headset is recognized in the list of devices in System Preferences > Sound, it doesn't do anything in terms of outputting or inputting audio
So Apple, what are you going to do?...
A lot of third party accessory manufacturers must be getting quite frustrated at the numer of complaints they get from Mac users, when it seems its the Mac OS which is to blame...

Logitech USB headset not detected

When I run lsusb | grep Headset, it shows that the usb headset is plugged in(grep audio did not work).
Sample output:
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 046d:0a0c Logitech, Inc. Clear Chat Comfort USB Headset
But here's the problem, when I execute aplay -l, it gives me no sound cards found, though I even have a intel intergrated audio sound card.
I have gnome installed, so it uses pulseaudio, so I can't use alsamixer, but is I go into sound settings, it only says dummy output.
Other things to note:
- Do not have gnome-extra installed
- Have extra gst media codects
Thanks in advance,
Ahad

Can I conect a Logitech USB headset H540 to a MBP?

I have a Logitech USB headset H540 that my MBP wont recognise. I have plugged it in,opened the system preferences and clicked both the input and the output but the headset does not even show up. I have unplugged it rebooted the computer, and tried all sorts of options.

What does Logitech say about this? It's is their hardware so they should have a solution. It almost definitely has nothing to do with iTunes itself (the forum on which you posted). Did you read the installation instructions? Some devices may requires specific drivers for which there may not be one for Macs, or certain output settings in your system preferences panels which you will have to peruse if they are not specifically outlined in your user manual.

I am trying to use a Logitech USB headset to record with screencast o matic. In the sound file of system preferences the headset is recording audio. However it stops working when I use screen cast o matic. Any advice?

Logitech USB headset

We had a logitech USB headset for Dragon and it all worked fine.
Headset wires broke and so I replaced it with the closest one I could find (ML-341) to what we had.
So let's forget Dragon and just look at the MacBook Air.
When I am in System Preferences -> Sound it recognizes
a) the internal microphone,
b) the USB headset that came with Dragon (USB Ear - Microphone) and
c) the USB Logitech headset (Logitech USB Headset)
BUT as I switch amng all three in SOUNDS the Logtech doesn't work. (no blue input levels moving)
Volume is up and mute is off.
I don't have to box but I am certain it is a Mac compatible Logitech as that is what I went to buy.
I have looked at the utility MDDI? but don't see anything I should be changing there either.
What's up?

Hi
I have the Logitech Headset Premium Stereo 350 USB. Since the 10.4.6 upgrade (I think) it has not been working as it should, but it does still work. You need to go into System Preference > Sound > Output, have the headset selected as the output device, and then click the mute button on and off. Have the headset on while you do this and play with the volume control at the same time so you will hear when the sound does start to come from the headset. I have no idea why Logitech have not sorted this problem out yet, but the headset does work fine if you are prepared to fiddle around every time you use it.
While we are here I want to recommend SoundSource for quickly changing audio inputs and outputs. It doesn't help much with the current problem, however.
Edit: BTW on my headset, the flashing blue light is the mute indicator for the microphone. Pressing the centre button toggles it on and off.

Z77A-G43 B4 Error - Logitech USB Headset

Hey guys,
I've isolated the B4 error I'm receiving on boot to having my Logitech USB headset plugged in.
Also plugged in via USB are a Logitech G15 Keyboard, a Razer naga mouse, and a WD 2TB USB hard drive, but without the headset, I don't get the error.
Any thoughts on how to correct this? In the bios it shows up as 2 keyboards, so I'm wondering if the 2 logitech devices are a problem.
Thanks in advance.

What bios version do you have installed?

Why is logitech 350 usb headset not recognized by my MBP?

I have a Logitech Premium USB Headset 350 that is not recognized (at all) by my fairly new MBP, which is running OS X Lion 10.7.5. I have run all of the available software updates but the headset it still not recognized as an input or output device (under system preferences). When I plug it into my old PC (Dell Inspiron) it is recognized immediately and works perfectly. Can you please help me with this? I really want to me able to use the headset on my MBP.
I have emailed Logitech several times and they have been unhelpful!

Either read the headset user manual or contact the vendor. You should also try posting in the Bluetooth forum area.

Lumia 800, Headset not usable after the last (01.0...

Hello,
I found, that from the last software upgrade the headset is simply not usable for making calls:
- the problem is only in call mode
- the volume up/down is not working
- the microphone is too quiet
Before the software upgrade everything was fine ...
Does anybody has idea what can be wrong with the phone?

hi mate,
have you checked that you are up-to-date with the latest firmware installed on your device, via checking via Zune on your PC? if there are any updates, please update to the latest version offered. also check that you are up-to-date with all the latest Nokia system apps in the Marketplace. also try performing a soft reset (pressing the volume down and power buttons together until the phone vibrates).
Let us know how you get on.

External speakers not working in some apps

Just set up new MacPro running Snow Leopard.
External speakers working fine in some apps but not others (iTunes plays perfectly, but mail notification audio in mail app runs through computer speakers -- at very low volume). Checked preferences. Nothing set differently than from old G5. Am I missing something here?
Anyone have similar situation? If so, what can I do to fix.
Thanks.

There are two settings to check. Under the Sound Preference Pane, check the first tab, Sound Effects. Check the drop down setting for "Play sound effects through:" and make sure that setting is correct. Then check the Output setting and make sure your speakers are selected.

Error: USB Headset not recognized

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC WV703AV
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium - 64bytes
Error: No error... just not working
Hello, I just bought an USB headset SOMIC and after plugging it to the PC I realize it wasn't working. At the beginning I got mad thinking that it was about the headset, however after testing it in several computers with different Operative Systems(windows 7 x64, windows XP x32 & x64) I realize that actually they worked perfectly... so whats is coming on with my PC? - I thought.
I tried by doing the following:
    1st - Changing it of USB Port - I tried the 4 of them.
    2nd - Updating the sound Drivers.
    3rd - Installing the Headset's drivers.
    4th - Downloading & Reinstalling the sound drivers.
    5th - Disabling the computers drivers in order to only use the headset's drivers.
I am getting so angry that I am planning to reinstall my OS, however before doing it I would like to know if you could help me in this matter . It is clear that it is ABOUT THE USB CONDITION OF THE HEADSET as I have others with normal connectors and they work perfectly. Moreover, I JUST REALIZE that AUDIO BEATS monitor the sound settings and it has NO USB CONNECTOR COMPATIBILITY (only HDMI or NORMAL MALE CONNECTORS).
So I tried disabling/uninstalling HP BEATS however it doesn't appear anywhere. Now I dont know what can I do to sort out this issue I am having please help me before I burned my PC . Pleasee I really need your help.
I look forward to hearing from you, thanks in advance.
Santiago.

I too have this problem. Bump.

Logitech USB Headsets non-responsive without reboot.

When I plug certain USB headsets (Logitech) into my MacBook Pro, despite the device being recognised in the Sound Control panel and the microphone working, no sound comes through the headset speakers, unless the MacBook Pro is rebooted WITH the headset plugged in. Since no device driver is supplied or needed with it I assume this is a bug in OS-X.
I can go to the Sound control panel and toggle between built in and the headset as much as I like, unless the headset it plugged in when the Mac starts up, there's no sound from the headset (internal speakers work fine when selected).
Anyone else had this problem?

I found the exact same problem. My Logitech headset has been working flawlessly for over a year, even when I changed to MacBook Pro. Recently, however, I need to plug it in before restart to have it working at all. Additionally, as soon as I unplug und replug it, it stops responding and restart is the only remedy.

Logitech H800 headset not working after upgrading Win 8.1 to Win 10 Preview

In Settings --> Devices I DO see "Logitech Wireless Headset" listed
But, in the Sound Properties dialog box, under the "Playback" tab my Logitech wireless headset is not listed.
It's also not listed in the "Recording" tab either.
Any ideas how I can get this headset working with build 9926?

Hi,
I would suggest you install latest drivers and reinstall the required software "Media Track Control Software", then test this issue again.

Just purchase ipad3, trying to play you tube favorites but can't set up a play list (username /password not recognised)
Tried downloading apps such as SoundBox but no joy
Can anybody help?

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks
