Windows 10: Headset is set as default sound device, and it displays sound, but no sound comes out

My family recently got a new Acer Nitro 50, and when I try and use my bluetooth headset, no sound comes out of the headset. Usually this problem can be fixed by setting the headset as the default sound device, but this time it didn't do anything. My headset works just fine on my other computer, but not on this one. I've been trying to fix this issue for about a week and its really starting to get to me. Any tips?

No sound if Bluetooth headset set to default playback and recording

I'm using a Bluetooth headset and for some reason when I set it to the default playback device as well as the default recording device (both normal and 'communication') then I don't get audio in Overwatch.

Tested:

• Have sound in Tharsis
  
• Have sound in VLC
  
• Have sound in Overwatch (windowed mode)
  
• No sound in Skyrim
  
• Have sound in Sykrim (windowed mode)
  
• No sound in Orcs Must Die 2
  
• Have sound in Orcs Must Die 2 (windowed mode)
  If I switch the default recording device to something else, then the audio does work.
  

I am using Windows 10.

The issue appears to be with the way games contact the audio device when in direct mode (not an expert on these things).

The headset did not come with a driver CD (appears to be built in in windows). How do I fix this issue?

 

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

 

Problem with sound on desktop

Hello,

Sound out may depend on Windows or software settings configuration. To troubleshoot, follow the steps below:

• Left-click the sound icon in the taskbar.
• Select the sound device in the drop-down menu.
• Choose the connected headset.

Or you may also set your headset as the default playback device.

• Right-click the sound icon in the taskbar.
• Choose Playback devices.
• Under Playback tab, select Headphones then click
  Set Default.
• Hit Apply then OK.

You may also contact your software developer's technical support team for additional assistance on configuring the sound settings.

Keep us updated if configuring your settings worked.
