One of the challenges when it comes to switching gaming setups from the Windows world to Linux, is fully-featured hardware support.
The Xbox Wireless Headset + official dongle does a decent job with a lot of bang for the buck. However, It's not (yet) supported by XONE or any other driver. I can connect it via bluetooth, but then it just sounds dull - no surprise!
That's why I'm now looking for a new headset which is approved by the community. It must offer decent (surround-)sound in games.
True, but even still the weirdness is more about getting audio routed to and from the right devices, not about getting the devices themselves to work correctly in terms of drivers.
Tell that to my USB sound card lol
But yeah, most of the time it's very fixable.
