Re: [orca-list] usb headphone solution

["Chris Gilland" <cgilland1 carolina rr com>]

God dang!  I wasn't gonna reply to this, but, you got me intrigued at this 
point!  I've never! ever! had that much issue with my logitech headset.  No, 
it isn't gonna switch automatically.  It isn't supposed to though.

Are you trying to use only? your headset, or do you wanna be able to switch 
between your pc and the head set.

If you only want to use the headset aned absolutely nothing else, I have a 
perfect sollution, but, only if that's what you wanna do.

Chris.
