Or phones that work with Centos.
I am making headway on my SIP testing, but I need a a couple (or 3) USB headphones or phones.
I remember back quite at time ago I had problems with one with volume control (ie none!).
So I am looking for a cheap USB headphone or 'real' VoIP phone. I am using SIP Communicator as my client.

Where did you get this info?
I just plugged the DSP-400 in; LED is on on the vol control. No entry for it in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf that I can see...

Cheap USB sound cards tend to not have any volume control. The good news is that you can take the money you save and buy a good 1/8" headset that does have one.

I have to go with USB headphones. This is for notebooks.

The Plantronics headset that I use ( and posted details about ) is quite portable, light, has active noise cancelling on both input and output, is usb 1 standard and has volume control for speakers.
Is not the cheapest headset around, and has this semi clunky box attached about midway between usb plug and headset - but the cord is long enough to not need to worry about that too much.

I have a Plantronics DSP-400 stashed away. I remember when I used it last (back on Cetnos 4.something), the volume control on the mic did not work with the xten client. I will haul it out and give it a try....

I picked up this[1] piece of crap for $15. I turned down the volume in PulseAudio (this sucker is LOUD!), but the same could be done with an external volume control.
