Well, I tried all the Alsa settings. I did notice one thing. When I
ran the ALSA program from the terminal I could adjust all the volumes
except for the headset. In example, I could adjust the PCM volume,
mic input level, everything but the headset volume. Nothing is muted
so it seems like Ubuntu knows its there but can't generate an output.
