Bug Description
I have a Sennheiser USB headset, which in Ubuntu 11.10 is reported correctly, once, in the sound settings when I plug it in. However in 12.04 it is reported twice:
"Digital Output (S/PDIF)
Sennheiser USB headset"
"Speakers
Sennheiser USB headset"
Both have a headset icon. Only the "Speaker" entry appears to work correctly; when I try to select the "Digital Output (S/PDIF)" entry the selection usually immediately jumps to some other entry.
It's also strange that the icon is a headset, so it appear to recognize that it's a headset, yet the label for the working entry is "Speakers". I don't think that is correct, it should be "Headphones" (as it is for the headphones connector on my motherboard).
Let me know if you need additional information or if I can help in any other way to fix this problem!
