Curse

I have a SteelSound 5Hv2 USB Headset.

Essentially what's happening is that GW doesn't have any sounds coming out of my USB headset. I plug it in, load up skype and GW; Skype works fine, but GW is completely mute. I looked in the options and everything is as it should be. It's just that for some reason, this headset won't work with GW.

I ran a diagnostic test and came up with the figures below; only thing is that I can't make heads or tails out of it. Can anyone take a look at it and maybe tell me what might be the problem?

Try disabling your regular sound card when using the headset. If you use a USB audio device you really don't need a working sound card as the USB audio device is essentially a soundcard in itself.

I got it to work.

Apparently, I needed GW to use Direct Sound, so I added the -dsound argument to GW's target line.
