Windows 10: Messed up headset with PC

I got this computer today and I have a Turtle Beach Stealth 300 Headset that has a mic and audio but the computer can't seem to see that its a headset so only the audio works. I know it's not the headset because I use it on my Xbox One. I went in the control panel but couldn't figure it out. Could any of you guys and gals help a bro out and tell me how to fix this?

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 microphone not working in windows 10

Thank you for the feedback. Since you have tried all the troubleshooting steps in the article, it's possible that the issue lies with the hardware or it's driver. To assist you further, please provide the following information:

• Have you tried the headset on a different Windows 10 computer?
• Have you tried connecting a different headset on your PC?

We suggest that you contact the manufacturer of your PC to check the headset jack for issues. Also try to reach out to the manufacturer of your headset to
check if they have a new driver for the recent Windows 10 updates.

Keep us posted.
