    Cannot Change Default Playback Device


    I did a fresh install of windows 10 pro from windows 7 and I'm already starting to hate myself.

    I open the playback devices tab under sound and click on my Siberia v2 illuminated headset and click set as default device and it does nothing. I can't disable my speakers or my headset. Extremely frustrating because I'm sure there's a simple solution surely.

    :)

    Sound stopped working

    Fixed the problem myself. Changed the default playback device. There are three playback devices , one works. Don't know how the device got changed because I never changed it.
