Windows 10: Headset not acknowledged as Audio device

(Latest version of Windows 10)

-I'm in my PC's settings "Bluetooth & other devices"

-Bluetooth headset shows up as "Paired"

-Problem is: it shows up under "other devices", instead of under "Audio", so I can't actually get sound from my PC into my headset



Anyone know how to convince my PC that the headset is indeed supposed to be listed under "Audio"?

Cortana will not recognise my USB headset as an audio input device

Even though your headset appears to be working in some apps, it sounds like the Windows 10 equivalent drivers are not allowing the proper drivers to install and take precedent causing Cortana to not recognize said headset.

Lets start with the following steps to correct this:

1. To ensure changes to the driver do not occur without your knowledge, open the Control Panel (right-click Start button and select Control Panel)
   
2. Navigate to System and Security > System > Advanced system settings
   
3. Click Hardware tab > Device Installation Settings and select No, let me choose what to do option
   
4. Select Never install driver software from Windows Update
   
5. Press the Windows key‌ Windows logo key+X and choose Device Manager.
   
6. In Device Manager, navigate to Sound, video and game controllers
   
7. Right click on the audio /microphone driver currently installed matching said headset and choose uninstall
   
8. Ensure the delete the driver software for this device is checked
   
9. Download and install the latest drivers for said headset
   
10. Reboot the device
    
11. Ensure the new drivers are installed and test Cortana ability to recognize the headset
    

 

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

 

Sennheiser GSP 350. Microphone stops working when I open any game

Wow, ok. I think I've fixed it by accident while fiddling around.

It appears to be the Realtek audio being the issue here. I don't use my onboard sound card as my headset is a USB headset only and my speakers are plugged into an ASUS sound card.

Step by step fix:

• I went into recording devices
• I enabled STEREO MIX (Realtek High Definition Audio)
• Then I set that Stereo Mix as the DEFAULT DEVICE (At this point it took over both input and output devices without my permission )
• Then set my Sennheiser headset as default recording and playback devices in their respective windows even though they both still said they were the default devices when they weren't

Headset microphone is currently functioning while in game now. I'll update the thread if it goes again. Should I completely disable Realtek audio??? Or will windows just force it to work again?
