    Headset not available


    Hi everyone, I use a Dell Vostro, 3 years old. In a sudden from today my laptop refuses to recognise the any headsets simple plugin headset. If I plug it in, the built-in speakers are still in use. Checked it all out, drivers re-installed, device deleted and re-installed... Another strange thing: if I connect a bluetooth-headset, no voice data can be played back: youtube stops, own files cannot be open... Any advise??

    :)

    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 Headset not available :p

    I appreciate it I was more looking to see if anyone knows something that can fit my bill in that budget. Trust me I know all about the $300 range and even considered audio technica m50x with a condenser mic *Stick Out Tongue Headset not available :p
