    USB Headphones

    I'm going to buy new headphones, I was thinking about "Medusa NX 5.1" but I found "Medusa NX USB 5.1" And I was wondering if they will work fine on Ubuntu.

    I've emailed their support to ask about it. They just replied "no" (yeah! that's all!). But that means they don't give any support for linux. I hope someone here has some experience with usb headsets.
    If they won't work I'll just buy 'normal' Medusa NX 5.1. But I don't have 5.1 soundcard. So I'll have to buy it as well. Say if you know any good soundcard that will work fine.
    Btw. I prefer alsa over pulseaudio

    I can only talk about pulseaudio (which i use and where they work) but i guess there won't be a big difference using alsa.

    Hope i could help!

    As this thread is found via google when looking for "medusa nx 5.1 linux" I'll just add, that only the main front speakers are recognized by Ubuntu, no surround.
