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.
