Right-click the volume icon on the bottom left of your screen, and select Sounds. Click the Playback tab.

Good news: You can. The big obstacle to using your nice headphones or earbuds with a desktop PC is that most full-sized desktops separate headphone and microphone jacks, while phones and laptops combine them into a single 3.5mm port. \u2026 We suggest using it for any PC applications.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Earphones should be okay plugged in to a PC, but you might not get the mic to work<\/strong> as it’s designed to be used on portable devices like mobile phones<\/strong>, iPods etc which have a combo earphone\/mic jack (ie a single jack for both mic in & audio out).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Fix 1: Check if your headphones are disabled Right-click the volume icon on the bottom left of your screen, and select Sounds. Click the Playback tab. If your headphones don’t show up as a listed device, right-click on the empty area and make sure Show Disabled Devices has a check mark on it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Your computer<\/strong> not recognizing your headphones is a fairly common issue in Windows 10 PCs. It could be caused by a corrupt or outdated driver, faulty USB ports (if your headset uses USB), an error in the connection (in case of Bluetooth, for example), or an issue with the headphones themselves.<\/p>\n If your headset isn’t working, the problem might be in the drivers. Head to Device Manager and uninstall the drivers for the connected headset. Reboot the PC and connect the headset once again to let Windows reinstall them. Yes, it’s the tried and true “turn it off and on again” process, but it works.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Follow these steps to check this: Right click on the volume icon and select \u201cPlayback devices\u201d. Now, right click on empty space and select, \u201cShow disconnected devices\u201d and \u201cShow disabled devices\u201d. Select \u201cheadphone\u201d and click on \u201cProperties\u201d and make sure that the headphone is enabled & set as default.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n In Control Panel, select Large icons from the View by drop down menu. Select Sound. Select the Recording tab, then right-click on any empty place inside the device list and tick Show Disabled Devices. Right click the Headset Microphone and click Enable.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Open Control Panel and click on Sound. Under Playback, right-click and select Show Disabled devices. From the list of headphones, right-click on your headphone device name. Select Enable.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Dust, lint and dirt may block the connection between the jack and the headphones. Check for this and clean the jack using a cotton swab damped with some rubbing alcohol to get the lint and dust out, or use a can of compressed air if you have one close by. Plug the headphones back in and see if they work.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Headsets are available in single-earpiece and double-earpiece designs. Double-earpiece headsets may support stereo sound or use the same monaural audio channel for both ears. Single-earpiece headsets free up one ear, allowing better awareness of surroundings.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Techopedia Explains Headphones Headphones are a pair of small speakers used for listening to sound from a computer, music player or other such electronic device. Headphones originally consisted of one speaker for each ear, connected by a band over the head.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Disconnect the headset or unplug the headset cable from the bottom of the controller, and then reconnect it firmly. Check the mute button on the headset controls to make sure the headset isn’t muted.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Right-click the volume icon on the bottom left of your screen, and select Sounds.
