Windows 10: Earbuds work with video, but not video games

My old earbuds wore out, so I re-attached my Razer headphones. It did some kind of update. I bought new earbuds, but now I can't hear anything in my video games. I have sound for Netflix, and recorded videos, but not my video games. There was an annoying clicking sound, until I uninstalled all Razer software. The clicking sound is gone, but I still don't have sound for my video games.

No Video Playback

Hi,

There are several factors that may cause video clips not to play on Xbox App.
It is possible that your video card drivers are not updated. To properly isolate your concern, please clarify the following information:

• Are you able to play videos using other applications on your PC?

• Have you tried updating your graphics card drivers?

In the meantime, you may perform the suggested steps under Troubleshooting video or display problems
