There is no need to upgrade to 12.10 if you have 12.04 up to date, which happens automatically.Your problem sounds like it is to do with ALSA configuration. ALSA is a completely baffling piece of the Ubuntu OS. Alsa is definitely not Ubuntu specific. You will need to edit some of the ALSA configuration files so that when the headset is plugged in, the headset's mic and speaker are prioritised, and when they are not, your main speaker and mic(if any) are prioritised. Google is your friend - over a quarter of a million hits for "ubuntu 12.04" and "alsa", the one you want is among them. I don't think looking through a quarter of a million hits is the sort of experience anybody would want to enter into. Let alone somebody who is obviously a little new to the environment. If alsa is the problem. Apparently there is sound to some degree. If he were to try 'alsactl init' as root and then call up 'alsamixer' to set levels, that would probably fix most problems. After that refer to the forums for his distribution would probably supply the rest of the answer, if any was required and, in fact, might be the best resource in the case of a bug unique to his distro first up. The latest stable SFLphone is not available on L/Ubuntu Software Centre unless you tell it to look for updates in the SFLphone repositories. The address of these repositories is on the SFLphone website. It is completely untrue that anything is "more stable" than Windows. LOL Debian/Ubuntu/Lubuntu have just as many bugs and problems and patches as Windows. Oh, I wouldn't know about that and what bugs there are don't have to wait six months for a bit of production downtime to get fixed. None of the apps that come packaged with the Lubuntu distro are as good as the Ubuntu ones, but they are smaller, simpler and demand less resources. None of the apps that are available with Ubuntu are as good as free apps that you can get for Windows. Very interesting perception.
