Can anyone get this to work on Linux? Output is mono, via pulseaudio; in chats, the other person hears their voice echo.

No. This is a gaming headset.. It's engineered only for games. The sound quality and its chat quality in playstation and Xbox is unbeatable but don't expect it to give you the same results via any other media source

It does work with Ubuntu out of the box. I can't speak to other distros, but I know Schiit has put effort into this product working with Linux. They've marketed it a few times and demonstrated it running on Ubuntu and as the M&M stack being good sound that young people can actually afford. And it running on Linux was a big part of that. So I would assume that anything called "Audiophile Linux", which I have previously not heard of, would be right up their alley for this product.

Yes, but unfortunately not with Linux. If anyone has found the drivers and software that works under Linux, please post.

I called Swann and was told that I would have to add a microphone. I did enable the audio feature but did not hear anything. Will have to do some more research.

No problems what so ever with audio. It just may be a glitch. It happens. Good luck!

Haven't tried that. I will give it a go today or tomorrow. Get back to me then. So I tested the unit on both program content and commercial content. Both were in the range of 38-40 db. Didn't see any difference in the sound level between them.

I bought this device and I am using it. I am quite happy with it. My main workstation has Linux OpenSUSE 11.4, but I also tried it on OpenSUSE 12.1, Fedora 15 and 16 and it works perfectly on all of them.Kyle is right. Sewell USB SoundBox 7.1 USB Sound Card has a C-Media chipset and Linux is able to communicate to it at the chipset level. There is no need for extra drivers or anything. For me in all Linux distros it worked right out of box.

The DAC works with windows as a Generic USB Audio device and runs driver less using the built in drivers in Windows 7. It may not be plug and play but installing the generic driver should work in Linux.

I'm not a speaker person so I honestly cannot answer that part of your question. I only use the speaker when calling in scripts or listening to vm. It only has 1 headset port.

Yes, I am using this with cord my Behringer microphone. I have to fiddle about with the "Recording devices" screen to make it an input, but yes it works. (Actually, Windows 8.1 Pro, but should work with Home version as well) Also works with XP; I haven't seen if there is a Linux driver for it yet though.

Did you ever find out if this was compatible with Linux? I see the v1 is listed, but can't find anything on the v2.

I believe if playing back in mono it will have the same output appearing on both. If using a program such as cool edit, adobe audition, etc and you select only one channel to playback it will playback only L or R. I've never toyed with mono out but I can and get back with you shortly.Bob

It worked for me right out of the box, without any trouble, using PiMusicBox (http://www.woutervanwijk.nl/pimusicbox/) which is based on Raspbian, the standard OS for the Raspberry Pi. It sounds good, but I just bought a new sound system and I am finding that it is potentially the weak link, but it is by no means bad, just not an audiophile's choice. Also: I am not a linux guy. I am learning. I did no coding/tweaking/anything. This was recognized and played back with piMusicBox with zero setup.

According to the box, the audio out is stereo and the microphone in in mono. I purchased this item but only used it once when I tested it. It worked as expected.

My mic works fine, so I assume it has something to do with the connection or what you are plugging it into, try it out on someone else's computer

I have the same question. I've configured it for speaker b, but there is no sound.
