Hello everyone,
I have just bought a Plantronics Blackwire 3310 headset, it connects via USB. I am
connecting the headset and it appears to work well (I tested with skype). I have, however,
a question.
Is it normal for this device to show up in my Input Devices (in the Sound settings -
Gnome) as a "Analog Input - Poly Blackwire 3310". Isn't the sound coming in
from my usb device, digital?
It's a USB sound device sampling an analog source (your microphone). A
digital input would be something like SPDIF.
Also, there is a test function in those settings, when I click the
test button (headset is mono), all I get is static noise, is that supposed to be the test
sound?
No, it should be a voice saying whatever is written for the button
you're pressing. e.g. "front left" If you're getting static, something
isn't working. What output options do you have for that device?
