From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Using USB Headphones on Linux (lemmy.ca)

Hi! I have an Audeze Maxwell. My wireless USB adapter broke. I tried bluetooth, but it only works well with my phone. I tried both a PCI-E bluetooth/wifi adapter and a USB bluetooth/wifi adapter on my desktop, and neither give a good connection. It's ok for listening to music, but like they share on Audeze's website -- although it may kind of work, the quality will be unpleasant.

I'm trying to instead plug a USB cable from my headphones to my computer, and I'm not sure how to get my ARCH LINUX install to recognize the USB.

When I plug in the computer, I got a couple popups. One saying

"USB Device Connected MediaTek Inc. MT6227 phone has been plugged in."

Then another notification that says

"USB Device Removed MediaTek Inc. MT6227 phone has been unplugged."

Oh sorry I was in a rush reading your post the first time and fully missed that your wireless adapter was broken lol. Do you have a 3.5mm audio cable to use? I honestly don’t even know if the USB port supports audio but my gut feeling would be charging only (can’t imagine why they’d bother putting a DAC in the headphones). I won’t have my headphones or my pc for a couple days but I can poke around with this after that if you want anything tested on another similar setup, by then.
