I have the same problem with the same headset. The sound plays for a short while then I hear a click, the sound goes and anything that trys to access the headset freezes. I am using Kubuntu 6.06 with an ASUS K6000KM (A6QKM) laptop. I run Amarok using the Xine engine utilising ALSA and point it to plughw:1,0 ( have tried hw:1 also ). I then point Amarok to a wma based music file and it freezes 30 to 60 seconds later.
I don't know if it is related but if I try and boot the laptop with either a logitech usb headset or logitech usb mouse the kernel freezes well before the init scripts run. -- logitech usb headset sound output dies after 1 minute https://launchpad.net/bugs/52815 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
