  1. Gaming headset is not detected by brand new PC


    I bought a brand new PC yesterday. I went to plug my headset in to play and there is no sound. The headset worked fine on my other PC and my Xbox. I tried all the ports and nothing I did connect other things to be sure that the ports worked. I checked the cord and it works. I have gone through settings, control panel, and device manager. None of that applies because my PC won’t even recognize that the headset is plugged in and yes, it is turned on. Everything that every website says I have tried in the last 12 hours. Since I got my PC set up. I am not sure what is going on.

    MSI Gaming headset not detected

    MSI Titan GT80 SLI
    Win10

    The headset looks exactly like this. It's not recognized by the OS, plays no sound, neither does the mike work.

    MSI Gaming Headset S - Newegg.com

    There are no drivers that I can find on the MSI page.

    To clarify, other headsets work just fine. Even cheap $10 ones (especially those).

    So it's an issue with the driver apparently. It's new and never worked.

    Laptop won't detect built-in mic on headsets/earbuds

    I'm running Windows 10 home on a Lenovo Ideapad laptop, and it doesn't detect the mic on any of my headsets/earbuds. I can hear playback fine on my headsets/earbuds, but it can't speak through them, since it insists on using the laptop's internal mic. This results in my typing/mouse clicks all being captured on audio.

    • In sound properties recording tab, I just see "microphone (Realtek high def audio)" and "stereo mix (Realtek high def audio)"
    • In sound properties playback tab, I just see "speakers (Realtek high def audio)", yet I hear audio fine on my headsets/earbuds?
    • In device manager, it doesn't detect a headset either, displays the same list as the recording tab
    So do all 3 of my headsets/earbuds have some kind of "plug and play but stays invisible to the OS" feature? One of them is the default Apple earbuds, I'm 100% sure there's a mic on there and these are brand new, so they aren't broken. Are these not supposed to appear as a "headset" device with the headset icon in sound properties?

    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 Gaming headset is not detected by brand new PC :p
