Windows 10: how to fix headset recognized as default audio speaker

mic is also not working on my headphones i guess this could be the reason

:)

 

Computer won't recognize headset microphone

This is what i see in device manager. Im not sure if the Speakers/Headphones (Realtek High Definition Audio) is the one your saying to disable, as that is what is default in playback devices in the sounds panel.

Setting Stereo Mix as the default recording device and disabling everything else still didnt get the mic working, even when the headset is plugged into the microphone only audio port or the mic + sound audio port.

 

chat headset for chat & game audio through speakers


'normally' , for that sort of thing , IF it shows up as an audio device under 'playback devices', you make your game speakers the 'default' device and your headset the 'default communications device'.

Depends if the chat headset shows up in the list though.

 

Headset not being recognized by computer

On my desktop for some reason some Windows update causes problems with Realtek Audio with the audio jacks. I just checked and they weren't working again with my headset microphone. To fix the problem I reinstalled the Realtek Audio driver.

This is what I see when I plug my headset into the front panel.

Speakers and Headphones/Headsets use Realtek Audio
