Windows 10: Headphones only sounding out of one ear because they are recognized as speakers

I just got these HyperX Cloud Flight 2.4Ghz headphones and whenever I use the USB adaptor the computer reads them as speakers and they only emit sound out of one ear. Whenever I plug it in with the headphone jack it works but I got these specifically because they were wireless and whenever I try it on other computers or mobile devices it works perfectly.

Speaker recognized as headphones.

Headphones recognized as Speakers...

Hi Ahri,

Having your headphones recognized as speaker when plugged in at the back of your PC could be the reason why the audio is low. To help us isolate the problem, we suggest running first the audio troubleshooter from the link Fix
sound problems.

In case the issue persists, then let's remap or retask your Realtek audio jack and see if it addresses the issue. To do that, follow the steps below:

• Open the Realtek HD Audio Manager.
• In the back panel, right click the option where your headphone is connected.
• Choose the option Connector Retasking, then select Headphone.

Feel free to update us with the result so we can further assist you.

Regards.

 

HTC HD7 on 02 UK no sound from ear speaker

My first week with the phone was great but it is now driving me nuts. The ear speaker has stopped working. The speaker and on phone mike are still working fine.

I have tried:

• a reboot/reset
• a reboot/reset pulling the battery
• uninstalling any sound apps (HTC's attentive phone app and sound enhancer)
• a full factory reset

Nothing has worked and I am reduced to using the supplied headphones/mike to make any calls.

Any suggestions as to what is wrong or is it time for a trip to the O2 shop for a new handset?

Many thanks

Gary
