USB headset recognized as 2-speakers

USB headphones = Logitech Clearchat Pro

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/we.../3622&cl=US,EN

Drivers = standard vista usb audio drivers v 6.0.6002.18005

I have spoke to several other vista users with various USB headphones and it seems to be a consistent problem.

The problem is that vista is recognizing my headphones as:
"speakers
4 - logitech USB Headset
working"

This means that when opening the properties, vista only offers the standard 2 speaker enhancements rather then the headphone ones. Also, all applications auto set the audio configuration for 2-speakers rather then headphones. This means it doesnt offer HRTF, as stated from Audio Innovations in Windows Vista - Windows Vista Team Blog - The Windows Blog:
"This function can only be enabled by indicating that the user is listening with headphones, as shown in the following screen shot."

any/all suggestions welcome, and thanks for the input

Re: USB headset recognized as 2-speakers

I may be having the same issue on vista 32. My microphone will not work and I have all the necessary drivers and firmware for the Fatal1ty USB Gaming Headset HS-1000.

In the sound options mine sayS

"Headset
2- Creative USB headset
Working"

When I ask to configure the headset it only offers configure speakers?

Do we possible need to disable the Digital Output/Inputs?

Thanks for all the help
