Hi everyone,
I'm having a hard time configuring my headset, which is a microsoft xbox 360 wireless headset. The device does seem to get detected and some kind of driver is loaded
kozaru ~ $ dmesg
input: Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:13.4/usb6/6-1/6-1:1.0/input/input1
input: Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:13.4/usb6/6-1/6-1:1.2/input/input2

Also, pressing the "take call" button affects the position of my mouse.
I however don't know how to set the device up as mic/sound output. Could anyone give some pointers as to how this is done?
Thanks,
kozaru

To get it working as a mic, there would have to be an alsa module to use it, which at a quick glance doesn't exist.
Google "xbox 360 headset linux" and two of the first four results are your own threads, LOL.
As for the mouse thing, well, X is trying to use your headset as a mouse. It does this with my xbox controller too.
Put this in a file called /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi
<match key="input.product" string="Xbox 360 Wireless Reciever">
<remove key="input.x11_driver"/>
</match>
Not really the solution to the main problem I guess.
I'm the type to fling myself headlong through the magical wardrobe, and then incinerate the ornate mahogany portal behind me with a Molotov cocktail.

As you might have guessed from those results I already googled to no avail
The thing is also called a lifechat headset, but that also returns no results.
As I've also discussed this issue here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … sa-715313/ I think there's just not really a suitable driver available. I'm really no good myself to code something myself to work with hardware, so it's a dead end for me now, until something pops up that might solve it.
Thanks for your reply, and indeed the mouse thing was hardly the main issue but it's still interesting to know
