Just rebuilt my desktop and installed openSUSE 11.4 with KDE4.7.4.
I’m having problems getting my Logitech USB headset to work with anything
except Audacity (with Audacity it works fine!)
YaST won’t play test sounds through it.
I can select it as the Master Channel with KMix but music still comes out
through the speakers instead.
Skype simply sees PulseAudio and offers no other choices as the sound device
and that’s even if I turn PulseAudio off in YaST
It’s definitely there, YaST sees it, lsusb lists it, Kmix configures it but
I can’t switch output to it in KDE.
As I say, Audacity shows it as a playback device and it works!
There may be some way of configuring things with KDE’s system settings but I
can’t get to Phonon under the Multimedia settings as it crashes every time I
click on the Phonon icon with an undefined symbol error.
Amarok configure Phonon also crashes
How can I get KDE and Skype to play with the USB headset?
can’t get to Phonon under the Multimedia settings as it crashes every time I
click on the Phonon icon with an undefined symbol error.
Then you have to perhaps look at the reason for this as part of the solution. Because I can access this area. But then I’m using stock kde4.7.2
You it seems are not?
4.7.4 … I stay away from non-stock openSUSE version numbers of desktops myself.
For users of a stock KDE version (that comes with 12.1) I recommend the application pulse audio volume control (pavucontrol) which allows one to tune their audio device output on an application level. As for KDE.4.7.4 ? I don’t know.

4.7.4 is just the latest offering of KDE 4.7 - I had 4.7 installed on the
previous incarnation of this box (under openSUSE 11.3) and the headset
worked Ok then.
I keep away from factory (except in a VM) as I’m not a developer the 4.7
branch is supposed to be /relatively/ stable.

Oops - clicked on Send before I’d finished …
I’ve installed pavucontrol and that shows the headset and, again, everything
seems fine. The headset shows up as a device and can be configured.
It’s just that I can’t seem to direct output to it except from Audacity (so
far).
If I set the headset as the Master channel with Kmix, sound still comes
through the speakers and not the headset.

I suppose that you could try alsamixer instead of kmix. I have had flaky
weird problems that i finally tracked down to kmix itself.
