Windows 10: USB headphones not getting detected on Windows 11

I recently purchased a USB Headphone Redgear Cosmo 7.1. When I plug it into my Windows 11 Laptop, I receive an error notification stating, "USB Device not recognized: The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." Strangely enough, these same headphones work perfectly fine on two other Windows 10 laptops and a PS4.To troubleshoot this issue, I have attempted the following steps without success:Running the troubleshooter: Upon running the troubleshooter, it prompts me to connect the device, but it fails to detect it.Updating all relevant

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.

• 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.
