  1. unable to listen to device through playback settings


    So about a month ago i updated my sound drivers - and ever since then i have been unable to listen to my mic through the playback settings, i can listen to it through the record/mic settings but then there is a lag. I can't even back up to the point prior the update. How can i fix this?

  2. Default Playback devices are not retaining their settings.

    We appreciate the information that you've provided. The next step that we recommend you to do is to disable all the sound drivers on your
    Device Manager since the sound driver has 2 components. We have to identify which sound driver works best on your device by following these steps:

    • Type in Device Manger on the Search box.
    • Click the drop-down arrow for the Audio inputs and outputs and
      Sound, video and game controllers drivers.

    • unable to listen to device through playback settings 33e66a89-f361-49a8-9a7e-cd5c26ea169f.png
    • Right click each drivers found on the suggested lists and select Disable.
    • Once you've disabled all the sound drivers, repeat steps 1 to
      3 but this time enable one driver at a time and check which driver will retain the desired
      Playback device settings.

    You can leave the other sound drivers disabled, once you've identified which driver works on your device.

    Let us know if you encounter any challenges along the process.

  3. Unable to add Device (New Speakers)

    Hi,

    To assist you better, I would like to ask some questions:

    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    • Is the sound device recognized by other applications?
    • Are you able to set the audio device as output for audio players?

    I suggest you to run the Sound troubleshooter by following the steps provided below and check if it helps.

    • Type “troubleshooting” in search box and type Enter.
    • Click on View All on top left corner.
    • Click on Playing sound from the list and follow the prompts for troubleshooting.

    Also, suggest you to check if the device is listed in playback devices.

    • Type sound in the search box and press Enter.
    • Check if the device is listed under Playback tab.

    Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

    Bluetooth Earphones not available as a playback device.

    Hi Shafeeq,

    Thank you for your suggestions.

    I have attempted the above steps as you set out but the result is the same.

    The system will still not recognise the earphones as a playback device.

    Thank you.
