Windows 10: My headphones produce microphone sound, not the headphones sound

So, my PC plays microphone quality sound into my headphones, and when i want to switch to my normal headphone sound, it produces no sound at all.

:)

 

Headphone, earphone and microphone are not in Sound Control Panel.

Windows 10 64 bit








Stereo mix and line & mic at front or rear panel don't work too.

I somehow managed to get my headphone to play the same thing as my speaker at the same time but that's as far as i got.

 

Headphones produce no sound

I got a Genesis Cobalt 300 headphones and I've tried everything(updated realtek drivers, rolled back to many versions,uninstalled them,repaired them etc.) i also had a problem where my headphones would get recognized as speakers but fixed that, now they're
marked as Realtek HD Audio 2nd output.

The headphones got a microphone and the microphone is working flawlessly without any errors, the only problem i have is that they do not produce any sound. And no, it's not a hardware problem, i tried other gaming headphones on this PC and what happens is
that the microphone works well but there's no sound output whatsoever.

I tried finding tutorials on youtube and tried them all but nothing fixes this problem. To make myself look silly, i even updated my BIOS which i don't even think it has to do with anything that's correlated to my problem.

My monitor has speakers and has a sound output via the HDMI cable. It also has a 3.5m headphone jack that's working fine with my JBL earphones. I tried fitting the Cobalt 300 headphones there and there was no sound output as well.

I also tried troubleshooting the problem several times, as well as downloading driver updater apps, nothing works..

As i mentioned, tried out multiple realtek audio drivers, but nothing solves this issue, I don't know what to do, hopefully people will see this and help me out.

 

No Sound Through Headphones


Hello! I've already read through many of the similar questions on this forum, however none of the solutions seem to work.
Sound comes through perfectly fine on my laptop's built-in speakers. However, when plugging my headphones into the 3.5mm headset jack, there is no sound whatsoever. The system recognizes that my headset is plugged in. In fact, the microphone on my headset functions perfectly when plugged in, but the headphones themselves are outputting no sound.
I tested the headphones on other computers and devices, and they work.
In Device Manager, the device is listed as "Realtek High Definition Audio". However, the only sound device listed in Control Panel is "DTS Audio Control Panel".
I've tried uninstalling the audio device from Device Manager, and then reinstalling the driver from Realtek's website.
However, this is met with the exact same results... no sound through the headphones, and "DTS Audio Manager" is installed in the Control Panel instead of Realtek HD Audio Manager.
If I navigate to Control Panel -> Sound -> Playback, "Headphones" is not listed as a device. Instead, Speakers/Headphones is listen as the sole device.
Also, I ran DirectX Diagnostic Tool, and it returned absolutely no errors.
I have posted screenshots and a few of my system specifications just in case.
Thank You!
