Hi,

I recently installed Ubuntu on my PC.
The install went OK, but now I want to get it a step further and check if
I can replace all Wxp apps I currently use.

I want to use a SIP softphone with a GN-Netcom GN-8110 USB digital audio
adapter.

As I am new to Linux, I would like to ask some help in this group.

I would like to get the USB headset up and running,
be able to send normal audio to my PC soundcard,
and send my phone conversation to the USB headset.
Can anyone here help me with this

If the Headset is supported, all you need is to plug it in,
anything else should be handled automatically for you.

When I do lsusb, I see it in the list of USB devices
marc@PCM1:~$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0db0:4011 Micro Star International Medion Flash XL
V2.0 Card Reader
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 05a9:4519 OmniVision Technologies, Inc.
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0b0e:444b GN Netcom

Good!

How can I choose to send audio do the headset instead of the soundcard ?

While it doesn't tell for sure it will work it is a good sign. You
should just be able to select it as audio input/output device
from the app you want to use.

Good luck
