    my pc wont recognize my headset as a speaker or a mic


    I reset my pc and kept my personal files and now my PC can't tell when my headset is plugged in. I can find it in the device manager but it doesn't pop up at all in the sound settings. It also for some reason pops up 3 times in this thing.i cant really find stuff on this and when I do its really old and I cant follow the directions because they changed the settings layout.

    :)

  2. Computer won't recognize headset microphone


    my pc wont recognize my headset as a speaker or a mic [​IMG]


    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.

  3. Headset and Mic are recognized as speakers... I need them to work.

    So my Headset works I have tested it multiple times but the problem is, that when I go into sound and disable speakers my headphones disable too.

    My mic on the headset also doesn't work when I plug it in, it doesn't recognize it. It just automatically switches to the laptops built in mic, and I have tested 3 different mics and they all worked on my Xbox One controller, my Iphone, and my Nintendo switch.
    Whenever I plug it in, once again, it's not its own standalone device it just recognizes, and bear with me, as the speakers... ANY HELP! PLEASE?!?
