The mute button is sending a core button 1 down event. This is also sent on uncapturing the audio input through alsa. xinput float "Plantronics Plantronics .Audio 646 DSP" disables the effect of the buttons/keys. I expect putting this in xorg.conf would do similarly, but haven't tested: Section "InputClass" Identifier "Plantronics USB Sound Card" MatchProduct "Plantronics .Audio 646 DSP" Option "Floating" "on" EndSection -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006156 Title: Mute button on USB headset steals and holds on to mouse focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/1006156/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
