Cheap USB sound cards tend to not have any volume control. The good news
is that you can take the money you save and buy a good 1/8" headset that
does have one.

I have to go with USB headphones. This is for notebooks.

that are jsut USB audio interfaces that you then attach a headset to?
Got to do some more searching....

The Plantronics headset that I use ( and posted details about ) is
quite portable, light, has active noise cancelling on both input and
output, is usb 1 standard and has volume control for speakers.
Is not the cheapest headset around, and has this semi clunky box
attached about midway between usb plug and headset - but the cord is
long enough to not need to worry about that too much.

I have a Plantronics DSP-400 stashed away. I remember when I used it
last (back on Cetnos 4.something), the volume control on the mic did not
work with the xten client. I will haul it out and give it a try....

these devices:

Where did you get this info?
I just plugged the DSP-400 in; LED is on on the vol control. No entry
for it in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf that I can see...

I picked up this[1] piece of crap for $15. I turned down the volume in
PulseAudio (this sucker is LOUD!), but the same could be done with an
external volume control.
