Headphones not working!

xhayatox · Dec 14, 2011

Ok, I have a small dilemma.

My headphones are properly plugged into the USB port of my computer, and my computer is able to detect the headphones, but the sound continues to play through the speakers when the headphones are plugged in. Take a look.

Anybody know how I can resolve this? How can I make the sound play through my headphones instead of the speakers? Everything is plugged in properly.

Since the headphones are not connected to the jack on the sound card but rather by USB, you probably need to click the set default button and select headphone.
If you'd plug the headphone into the jack on the sound card, it would switch from speaker to headphone automatically.

Agreed. Your headphone have a soundcard built in but your system is currently using your PCs sound card not the one in your headphones
