How can I get my wired headset to work with my new PC?
Asked by

I just set up my new PC and plugged in my wired headset, but I'm not getting any sound through it. Instead, the audio is playing through my monitor. Is there a way to fix this? I also have the Realtek Audio Console installed—do I need to adjust any settings there?

If you're on Windows 11, you'll want to change your output device settings. Go to Settings > System > Sound, and look for the option that says 'Choose where to play sound.' Make sure your headset is selected instead of the monitor.

SoundNerdGal: I checked there, but only my monitor and 'speakers' show up. Any advice on what to do next?
