    Hello all,


    I'm a bit baffled. I've done a ton of searching and I have (between PC/Xbox/etc) 6 sets of headphones. If I plug them in, Win10 gives me nothing but mono. As soon as I go to speaker I get stereo or faux surround etc.


    - Updated drivers (uninstalled/reinstalled over and over)

    - Ease of Access sound is not set to Mono

    - 2 different sound cards do the same

    - 6 sets of headphones do the same (with and without mic)


    All of the headphones play fine from Xbox, iPads, phones, etc. I connect to Win10, all mono all day.


    Anyone figure this out? It's been going on for almost a year and I'm tired of speakers. TIA!

    :)

    Sound Blaster Recon3D PCIe Broken With Windows 10

    With Windows 10, it stopped supporting my sound card, the Sound Blaster Recon3D PCIe. There was a post about this issue before Windows 10's official release, but it still hasn't been fixed. My question is, will I have to wait for the manufacturer
    to release a new driver, or do I have to wait for Microsoft to update windows?

    Headphones only outputting audio in mono

    Hello,

    I'd like to play Stereo audio when my headphones are plugged in to my 3.5mm audio port, but they are only outputting in Mono. Stereo works when using them through Bluetooth, but I often use them wired and would like them to play Stereo properly that way
    as well.

    System specifications:

    Windows 10 64 bit home

    3.5mm Audio jack

    Realtek Audio

    JBL live 650btnc-le headphones

    My audio drivers are all up to date.

    The "mono" audio option in Ease of Access is turned off.

    Turning audio enhancements on or off in the properties menu doesn't solve the problem.

    Restarting the computer doesn't solve the problem.

    Any help would be appreciated.
