  1. Windows 10 20H2 disabled my headset audio.


    So about an hour ago I updated Windows 10 to the latest version, and right after the update finished I noticed that I don't get any audio from my headset.

    Thing is, I've tried to play audio from my speakers and it works just fine, it's apparently just the headset that is affected. Also the headset mic works fine.

    I have a Corsair HS50 PRO Stereo headset, I've checked every driver and they're all up to date, Windows troubleshooting expectedly didn't help, the Corsair help page relating this issue didn't help, I've tried restarting the Windows audio and the Corsair audio services, I've even tried updating the iCUE software to the latest version and that didn't help either, the connections between the headset and the PC are fine, I'm all out of options, really.

    I really don't know what to do, and I'm considering downgrading back to version 1903 although I'd like to not have to do that.

    The Ultimate Realtek HD Audio Driver Mod for Windows 10

    Everyone that post ids, need just do these steps and you will be good. I kinda tired of keep on uploading the inf. file

    1.Go Open up device manager
    2. Go under sound,video, and game controllers
    3. Find Realtek High Definition Audio
    4. Right click and hit update driver
    5. Browse my computer for driver software
    6. Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
    7. Click Have Disk and hit browse
    8. Click on the Realtek HD Audio mod folder and look for win64
    9. Click on the HDXRT4 and click ok,
    10. Click Next and Yes
    additional if you want dts audio and others, install it now before next step.
    After it is done, restart the PC

    You should be good then and also make sure before doing these steps that you have driver enforcement disabled.

  3. Headset mike not recognized - can't open Audio Manager

    You could try going into settings and running the 'Troubleshooter'. Although this might not work as I think it may be a software/driver issue.

    Ah okay. I have had a look at the manufacture Nubwo, and there doesn't seem to be any official drivers or software listed.

    Thus I would suggest we try and uninstall everything related to the headset, and then let everything install automatically, as it had done on the other desktop (assuming everything was automatically configured, and it just worked).

    1.) See if you can first remove the Realtek Audio Manager 1.0.0.222 software by uninstalling it.
    • Settings > Apps > Click on the app and select 'Uninstall.'

    2.) After that right click on Start menu (*Start) and select 'Device Manager'
    • Under the 'View' tab, select 'Show hidden devices'
    • Then click on the arrow before 'Sound, video and game controllers' as well as 'Audio inputs and outputs' (this should drop down to reveal a list of audio drivers and headsets)
    • I can help you with which driver (in relation to your headset) to uninstall, if you post back with a screenshot.

    Optional.) Or if you are comfortable with knowing which driver to uninstall, then do so
    • Right click on the driver name > Uninstall (Check 'delete software for this device'). Perform a restart and plug the headset back in.

    Repeat the steps in all the Audio devices listed.

    Then reboot. then test the headset again.
