What is the cause of this intereference with Logitech H600 headset? [KDE Neon Linux]
I'm running KDE Neon User Edition 5.14. I'm using the Logitech H600 wireless headset.
I'm getting audio through the headphones fine, but I get weird interference periodically. It's not constant, but it never goes away for a long period. I have tried to trace the source of the interference and I'm pretty sure it's not any of the following:
- Interference due to large displacement between USB transmitter and receiver
- Interference with Wi-Fi signal (looked at trace of network usage, it doesn't correspond with the periods of network activity)
- Sound card issues (headphones connected through headphone jack work fine)
- A problem with that specific USB port (I've tried multiple others)
Logitech doesn't advertise Linux support on its website or offer any software downloads for Linux, so I suspect that the interference is caused by incompatibility -- I'm assuming that a generic driver is being used and that this is causing problems. But I want to be sure before I go out and buy a pair of headphones explicitly compatible with Linux.
To be clear, these headphones definitely work on the same PC when it's running Windows 10 (and on other PCs running Win 10).
I have tried booting a live USB of Kubuntu, and the same problem occurs. I might try with a more distinct OS (Manjaro) to see if anything changes.
What is the problem? How can I isolate the source of a problem like this? (I'm very new to using Linux (have just switched from Windows) so any help especially regarding command-line is greatly appreciated.)
