    Logitech USB Headset not working properly on Kubuntu 14.04

    I have a Logitech USB Headset. It worked fine on Kubuntu 13.04, 64 bits, but not on Kubuntu 14.04, 64 bits.
    When I plug in the headset, Kmix does not show it on the master channel window (Right click on Kmix icon at system tray --- Select Master Channel...). But, when I restart the computer, with the headset plugged in, then, it appears in the Kmix Master channel window.


    On Kubuntu 13.04, it appears when I plug it at any moment, no restart is required.


    The following appear when I open KSystemLog and plug the USB Headset:

    Then, I open the KMix master channel window, but the Headset is not shown
    Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance...

    You might try a different mixing utility. Veromix, a replacement for KMix, provides better control over Phonon. I use it to route input to and output from my VoIP software through my USB headset.

    Install the package plasma-widget-veromix. Then, edit ~/.kde/share/config/kmixrc and set Autostart to false. Finally, remove KMix from and add Veromix to your system tray.

      Thanks for you fast answer. But i have made it work, for some strange reason it is now working fine.

      [UPDATES]----------------------------------------------------------------------------
      After computer reboot with the Headset plugged in, the headset work fine. I have removed it from PC, then replug it, and work again, KMix show it. Now it detects it at any moment!. Is something strange.

      HAHA! I have detected something strange, if I reboot the computer without the Headset plugged in, Kmix show it when I plug it in. But, if I have the headset plugged in, and go to the KMix icon, and select master channel, and then, select the default laptop sound hardware, then, if I unplug the Headset ant replug it, it is NOT shown on KMix master channel window. And here is the solution!:
      If Headset is not detected on Kmix Master channel window, do the Following:
      first unplug the Headset, if it was plugged in before...
      1. Right click on KMix icon on system tray.
      2. Click on "Select Master Channel..."
      3. Clik on the round check button, left to the name of the default listed Hardware (Make sure you click on the round button! it must be filled)
      4. Close the Master Channel window
      5. Plug the Headset in.
      6. Go to KMix master channel chooser again
      7. Now, the Headset must be shown

      I suppose that is a software bug, related to KMix, but I am not sure.

      Also, I will try you recommendations!, Thanks a lot!!!!

      PD: I love Kubuntu
