    So I got a new Headset not long ago and I use them very much.But something weird happened. Every time I plug an audio device Realtek audio console pops up asking me which device I plugged in and there is a set of audio devices to choose from headphone, headset, speakers etc. I usually change between speakers and headsets on occasionsI have a laptop with only one audio jack. It was working fine for a while until it just started detecting both of them as headphone. They still work but the thing is that I use the headset mic a lot in discord calls. Now it only detects the Headphones and not t

    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 Speakers and Headset detected as same device. :p

  3. Headset Detected as Speakers.


    Speakers and Headset detected as same device. 1abdc272-2064-4836-b996-2b9ff067c5f3.png
    I
    have an edifier speaker working... I tried to add up a headset using the front jack... My speaker stopped working and my headphones are detected as speakers. I even tried to change it from the audio manager, to confirm it is selected as headphones not as speakers.
    But it stills appear in the playback devices as speakers... I even tried to transfer my headset jack to rear from front and removed my speakers. The result is still the same, I can only use either my speakers or headset because they are overlapping each other
    as both speakers. Even though my Asus monitor HDMI speaker is detected properly. I am using windows 10 and ROG MOBO. I know this is an old issue but still an issue for me. Need help.

    Plugged into:

    LINE OUT GREEN (REAR) and HEADPHONE JACK (Front)

    Laptop won't detect built-in mic on headsets/earbuds

    I'm running Windows 10 home on a Lenovo Ideapad laptop, and it doesn't detect the mic on any of my headsets/earbuds. I can hear playback fine on my headsets/earbuds, but it can't speak through them, since it insists on using the laptop's internal mic. This results in my typing/mouse clicks all being captured on audio.

    • In sound properties recording tab, I just see "microphone (Realtek high def audio)" and "stereo mix (Realtek high def audio)"
    • In sound properties playback tab, I just see "speakers (Realtek high def audio)", yet I hear audio fine on my headsets/earbuds?
    • In device manager, it doesn't detect a headset either, displays the same list as the recording tab
    So do all 3 of my headsets/earbuds have some kind of "plug and play but stays invisible to the OS" feature? One of them is the default Apple earbuds, I'm 100% sure there's a mic on there and these are brand new, so they aren't broken. Are these not supposed to appear as a "headset" device with the headset icon in sound properties?

    Headset and speakers being detected by windows as a single device: Hello. Whenever I have my headset plugged into my PC, I cannot use my speakers because both devices are shown as a single device. Is there any way to fix this and separate the two devices so I can switch between them? Thanks....
