The sound seems to come out of whatever speaker it wants to, instead of the (USB) headset when I have that plugged in -- that is, some sounds come through the headset and some through the built-in speakers. And it completely ignores the mic on the headset. I need to be able to put the sound (in and out) where I want it (ALL of it).
Here's some data from my computer:
LMDE and I'm currently using MATE WM (since Gnome 3 and Cinnamon are not ready for prime time), and it's the only one I found thus far that works with my video.
The following is a list of devices on a drop-down box from the "Volume Control" dialog that comes up with the right click menu on the speaker in the task bar (system tray). Selecting each shows a set of volume sliders (some only one, others many) and other configuration tabs. I have tried a number of different settings and configuring, all to no avail.
