Work gave me a LifeChat LX-3000 headset. I plugged it in, and now Mixer shows it in a bunch of options.

But it doesn't matter which one I select, I can't get sound to go out to the device, not even in Skype which is what I want it for. What am I missing?

  Also make sure the mute button on the head set is not clicked! My pair of headset seems to have been muted when taking them out from the packaging! If the red led lamp on the control (on the headset wire) is on, then it is muted. Click the mute button again (the one under the volume control buttons), so that the lamp turns off, to close the muting.

If anyone is wondering how to deal with this device when Jack and Cadence manage your sound, you can go to Cadence -> Configure -> Driver tab -> ALSA driver and select the right input and output:

You will need to rested Jack afterwards (in Cadence, click "Stop" and then "Start"), and make sure that your PulseAudio bridge is running (Jack Bridges -> PulseAudio -> Start).

Tested with:

• Ubuntu 18.04-derivative (64 bits)


• Cadence 2:0.9.0+git20180427v5


• pulseaudio-module-jack 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.2


• jackd2 2:1.9.12+git20190321~zz~bionic1
