Wireless 360 Headset Glitch UPDATED

This is an updated version of my 360 headset video. I never leave camera and show the issues again for the people who had questions. ::UPDATE:: Microsoft has called me and confirmed EXACTLY what I have shown on the video. I have spoken to engineers and they have replaced ALL of my controllers. All issues were instantly resolved. They took my old controllers and did in fact confirm an issue. Stop calling this fake, stop calling me stupid, stop telling me im doing it wrong. I know what I'm doing and this video has helped HUNDREDS of people. I was even commended and thanked, also shipped free merchandise from Microsoft them selves. So if you want to keep talking trash then feel...

I want to use my headset, not my SB Audity sound card

Using the new Ubuntu 8.04. I have a SB Audigy sound card hooked up to my speakers. I also am using a Microsoft LX headset w/ mic. I want to use the headset, not the SB audigy card. I went to System -> Preferences -> Sound and changed it to my USB Audio Headset. The tests work fine, but Firefox and Steam still uses my SB Audigy w/ speakers, not the headset. Strangely G-Streamer plays my music on my USB Audio headset. What the heck is going on?
