Windows 10: Why is my headset not working no matter what approach i take to fix it?

I have 2 headsets, one Xbox one headset and one Razer headset. Both are fully operational and work properly tested them on a different device and when i plug them into any aux plug on my PC, all i hear is a small amount of static so i know they're getting an electrical signal and then my PC doesn't even recognize that they're plugged in. It also doesn't show up on my PC that the slots i'm trying are even there and the only audio devices that show up are from the HDMI output.Please help.

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

 

Bluetooth headset is not working consistently

Dennis,

Thanks! again for the prompt response and i followed the suggested steps for WiFi issue but troubleshooter didn't report any problem, however the issue persists even as of now. After approaching you i shouldn't be interfering with your troubleshooting but
it seems to me problem as a result of peculiar issue wrt OS, may be because it doesn't flush out the entries related to WiFi settings/system. Also, i was thinking solution must be readily available as Windows 10 team must have fixed issue over a period time
as many users have reported exactly same issue. Sorry! again as i have crossed boundary by suggesting what i suspect. See if you can help as it is somewhat impacting work.

P.S. : For Bluetooth issue i have got a USB headphone and that i acting as a workaround for a while.

Best,

Adarsh
