I have had issues trying to use a VOIP client. I recently made an unsolved post about using Mangler, but I wonder if my problem goes deeper than that.
When I have a USB headset plugged into my system and set the options on the audio mixer to creative usb headset and not default audio it will work with the program Mangler that I use.
It will randomly stop picking up my voice. If I look the audio mixer the drop down boxes are set to default, but they always look like that when I open it even when the mic is working.
If I keep changing it to Creative USB Headset and hitting apply over and over again and closing Mangler it will eventually work.
Is there something that I can do to make it stay on my creative usb headset for the mic.
I have had this problem on Ubuntu 10.04 Kubuntu 10.10 and openSUSE 11.4
On openSUSE when the mic stops picking up my voice the volume icon in the bottom left corner will have a popup saying that the sound system is defaulting to the default from my headset.
Since they all use Pulse I thought that might help.
