Windows 10: Pass audio for one side through headset

i have a very unusual problem that im not sure how to solve until i just get a new headset. my steelseries arctis 3 broke and only plays audio in the right side. its definitely a hardware problem and not anything i can fix in windows. i have a pair of akg earbuds from a samsung phone that i thought only play audio through the left. turns out theres sound on both sides but the right is extremely quiet. in order to have the same volume on both sides i need to have the left at 8% and the right at 100%. i end up with what is essentially 8% volume on both sides. i have loudness equalization on because if i dont then a lot of sounds, like voices, are just way too quiet. the problem with this is that it ruins audio quality and directional audio. so the brilliant idea that ive come up with is to pass audio through the headset for the right side and use the earbuds themselves for the left side, if at all possible. is there any way to merge the two devices like that? in windows there isnt a separate device for each one so im not sure if theres any way to do it.

Headset mike not recognized - can't open Audio Manager

You could try going into settings and running the 'Troubleshooter'. Although this might not work as I think it may be a software/driver issue.




Ah okay. I have had a look at the manufacture Nubwo, and there doesn't seem to be any official drivers or software listed.

Thus I would suggest we try and uninstall everything related to the headset, and then let everything install automatically, as it had done on the other desktop (assuming everything was automatically configured, and it just worked).

1.) See if you can first remove the Realtek Audio Manager 1.0.0.222 software by uninstalling it.

• Settings > Apps > Click on the app and select 'Uninstall.'

2.) After that right click on Start menu (*Start) and select 'Device Manager'

• Under the 'View' tab, select 'Show hidden devices'
• Then click on the arrow before 'Sound, video and game controllers' as well as 'Audio inputs and outputs' (this should drop down to reveal a list of audio drivers and headsets)
• I can help you with which driver (in relation to your headset) to uninstall, if you post back with a screenshot.

Optional.) Or if you are comfortable with knowing which driver to uninstall, then do so

• Right click on the driver name > Uninstall (Check 'delete software for this device'). Perform a restart and plug the headset back in.

 

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
