There seems to be limited support on this device, I can record sound, but its in mono not stereo and the play back is very poor.
I've tested this with Audacity....

there's an open thread at http://
at the end of it says:
Fix: Double click on the volume applet, File>Change Devices>AK5370, and raise the volume as high as it goes.
[The volume applet i top right of your desktop, in the panel bar].
I don't know if it works as i don't have that hardware...

I also have a Logitech USB desktop microphone (the same one in this post), and after following the directions above (changing devices, raising volumes, unmuting, etc.) I still can't get anything to record in the Sound Recorder Application.
Any additional help you can provide would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
BTW, Here is my output of sudo lsusb -v:

Sometimes after reboot, the microphone input level is zero! Max it!
In Skype-> Options-> Sound Devices,
Uncheck "Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels"
