Windows 10: New laptop has some issues with my headset.

When I connect my headset, sounds play through it and the mic works fine, but the headset does not show up in playback or recording devices. I'm not sure what could be causing this. How do I fix it? Thanks

:)

 

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
