  1. No headset audio?


    My old headset cord broke so I got a new one and now when I plug the cord in the sound comes from my speakers. There is no headset option in playback devices but the headset option in my device manager is grayed out. Also my computer has soundblaster not realtek.

    Good surround sound headset

    I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue No headset audio? :p

    I appreciate it I was more looking to see if anyone knows something that can fit my bill in that budget. Trust me I know all about the $300 range and even considered audio technica m50x with a condenser mic *Stick Out Tongue No headset audio? :p
