Well, the device is a Logitech USB Headset, and it won't quite work, either part of it. Plain and simple. Help?

I had the same problem: A headset plugged into the mic and headset ports works the same as if they are external speakers. You get sound to both the speakers and the headset port, and simply switch the speaker power off and bung the headset onto your noggin to play your noise without annoying others.

However if you want to use a USB headset you need to change the setup in System-->Preferences-->Sound to output the sound specifically to your USB headset. The sounds will then not go to the speakers/headset port irrespective of whether they are powered on. I got this info from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1047635.
