USB headset not being listed as sound card

in flag

I have HyperX CloudX Flight USB headset and it's not recognized as a sound card. The USB dongle has a green LED which blinks whenever the headset is not connected and stays solid when it's connected. It seems that the device is recognized by the system but cannot operate normally. When I plug the dongle in, its LED stays off.

Outputs from lsusb and dmesg:

I know that this headset is built for Xbox, but it's working on Windows without installing any additional drivers/software, so I wonder why shouldn't it work on linux? It's pretty straightforward setup - plug the dongle in, turn on the headset and wait for it to pair.

XBox is a Microsoft product and so is Windows. I can see why that OS would have support. Linux, however, [may see but may not use](http://linux-hardware.org/?id=usb:0951-16da) that device … for now

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
