Pulseaudio and USB Headset

I have a Creative HS-950 headset and I can get sound using Pulseaudio, however, it makes Pulseaudio crash quite often. It usually happens when I start watching a video, be it on Youtube or from my disk. Normally all I have to do is choosing the headset again in the sound preferences, but it is still very annoying.
Another issue I have is that whenever I open Skype, it takes a while before my microphone works (there's not input signal for a minute or so).
Also, this doesn't happen if I use Ubuntu so I guess the headset is not the problem.
I'm using Gnome 3 (fallback mode). 64-bit system.

Let me know if there's any information you need.

Thanks.
