Windows 10: USB headphones not detected.

I purchased a USB headset, and when I plugged it in an USB slot, it lights up the LED, but I cannot see the device under Playback devices or any of the USB devices. Not sure how to set it up to start using the usb device. I tried running troubleshoot on both USB devices and sound devices, but nothing came up. I tried unplugging, restarting and then plugging back in to no avail. The USB headset works in a mac I'm owning, so its not the headset that is faulty. I use the USB slots for connecting my keyboard and mouse, and those work fine. Only the usb headset doesn't seem to be recognized. I have been having this issue of the connected headphones not showing up under the playback. The only thing I can see there is Speakers/Headphones.


Laptop specifications:

Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series Gaming Edition 7567 15.6-Inch Full HD Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5-7300HQ, 1 TB Hybrid HDD, 8GB DDR4 Memory, NVIDIA GTX 1050 4GB Graphics, Windows 10

Headphone:

Redgear Cloak Wired RGB Headphones with Microphone for PC


Please help me resolve this issue,

Thanks,

Headphones Not Detected

Wasn't sure what topic to put this under.

Windows 10 refuses to detect my headphones from my headset. The mic is fine. The computer even recognizes when I plug the headphones of the headset in. But it refuses to detect them. I can go into my Sound in Control Panel all day, and there will NEVER be any
headphones in that list. So, no, I cannot click headphones, just making that clear before someone suggests clicking on headphones.

How do I force Windows 10 to detect the headphones that I have plugged in, so that they will work? The jack is working fine. When I plug them in it gives me the pop-up letting me know that I plugged something into the jack. But that's the end of it. It will
not detect the headphones. Nothing comes out of them. There are no headphones in the Sound list. There is nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Why does it register something is plugged in and then refuse to detect it?

Someone please figure out why Windows 10 simply cannot detect headphones and help me fix this so I can use my headset.

 

USB Type-C Headphones With Windows 10

Here are steps to help fix the issue:

• Plug your headphones in.
• At the bottom right side of your desktop taskbar, right click the volume icon and select
  Playback devices.
• Check the default device and if it detects the headphones you plugged in.
• If it does not detect your headphones, you will need to update your BIOS.

Keep us posted.

 

Headphone jack not detecting headphones, USB headphones work.

You said the headphone jack is good. How were you able to confirm this, with another device that is detected properly in Settings > System > Sound settings? Did you try the Troubleshooter there for Output devices?
