asterisk users - May 2006 - SV: USB headsets?

I don't quite follow you? There are USB headsets that don't require a
soundcard at all. They have a built in soundcard which (I suppose) could be
better than the crap they build into most laptops.

Regards,
Jan

Well, IMO if the soundcards are already crap to start out with, there's no
way a fancy-schmancy USB headset -- or any other headset, for that matter --
will sound good when plugged in to the laptop. Because, remember, it's the
soundcard that generates the audio and sends it out the heaphone port.

What model headsets (name/number) do you have? Any recomendations on the
USB audio-devices? Thanks!
