Windows 10: Desperate for Good Speakers

Hi all, can some of you give me direction on what type of speakers to buy for my Desktop? I am so tired of struggling to hear. I have my sound turned up to 100 and still hard on some sites like Youtube, Facebook etc.

One thing I know is an issue is the cheap sets I've been using, USB, not AC (hope I got that right, the plug into an electric socket type).

Just would be grateful to hear what some of you are using? I'm not into Bass, boom boom boom. I just want clear speech audio, and yes, music if I happen to be listening to anything on my PC. Usually only listen to music from my TV.

My budget is under 100 dollars. I'm hoping I don't have to spend that much to get a decent set but I will if I have to.

I have an HP Pavilion running Win 10, version 2004. Any other info needed, I will be glad to provide it for you. One other thing is I don't care for bluetooth. Rather just plug them in *Wink

Thank you in advance for any help, Denise

:)

 

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

 

Windows 10 recognizes my UE Megaboom as a headset and not a speaker will not work?

Hi Rachael,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I suggest you try the steps listed below and check if it works. This issue could be because of the Headphones BT SPEAKER Stereo being set as default. I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Pair the speaker with your PC.
  
• Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose
  Device Manager.
  
• Expand Sound, video, and game controllers
  and right click on your Bluetooth speaker (BT SPEAKER Stereo).
  
• Choose Disable and acknowledge the confirmation popup. Wait for the screen to refresh.
  
• Right click on the same device again and Enable.
  
• Exit Device Manager and see if the issue persist.
  

Regards,
