    Headset is working, but not showing up in control panel

    My sound wasn't working on my headset or speakers on my laptop, so I updated my PC to fix it. It worked, and my headset and speakers work too, but now my headset is not showing up in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Sound.

    Does anyone know how to fix this? Because I want to change the sound quality of it and add audio enhancements.

    Front Panel Headphones and Mic not working.

    Hey Everyone,

    Mobo : ASUS M2N MX SE
    Processor : AMD Athlon X2 5200+
    OS : Windows XP Professional SP2 x86

    My Rear panel Speakers and mic works all fine. I got a new set of headphones(with mic) when i connect it to the front panel they don't work. NO SOUND OUTPUT.

    I updated the audio drivers. I tried a few many things but I still can't get them running.
    My default Sound Manager is Realtek HD Audio Manager.

    Please help me get my Front Panel working. A step-by-step guide would be better.
    Thanks.

    headset mic not showing up at sound control panel and not working.

    windows 10 headset mic not working

    Still not working for me. I did find out one more interesting fact:

    I tried to go to Speech Properties (Advanced Speech Options -- under Speech Recognition)

    and when I selected my Xbox 360 headset as the recording device, and restarted Speech Properties, it gave me the following error message:

    "Could not initialize volume meter, please select a different recording device"

    FYI -- I've messed with Privacy-Microphone and Control Panel-Sound settings to no avail: default devices, enabling/disabling, reinstalling drivers, levels, mute, etc. Nothing works. This is DEFINITELY a Windows 10 problem. My chat headset works great
    on my Xbox360 and when I was on Windows 7, my USB Xbox360 controller and chat headset were working perfectly. I'm regretting my upgrade and highly debating reverting back.

    Update: I found another thread and they recommended the follow which worked for me...

    Xbox360 Headset Microphone Not Working
    • Plug in Controller and Headset
    • Control Panel - Sound - Recording
      • Disable alternate microphones (eg: webcam mic)
    • Device Manager
      • Sound, video and game controllers - Headset (XBOX 360 For Windows)
        • Uninstall driver
      • Scan for Hardware Changes (will auto-install Xbox Headset)
    • Restart
