Hi guys
I connected my PC to an LCD tv, and connected my head set to my PC.
The mic works fine when play a game but i can't hear sound on my headset, even though i hear it from the LCD.
Anyone know a solution?
 
Solution
You need to set in TEAMSPEAK / Steam / whatever application WHICH device to output. Go under preferences / settings and you have to set it to the headphones.
Windows doesn't allow you to play audio through two devices simultaneously (although you can buy programs to do this for you). You'll have to switch the default audio device to your headphones if you want to hear them, it also means that you won't be able to hear sound from the TV at the same time. Depending on the type of headphones it should switch back to the tv automatically if they're unplugged.
 
Your probably using HDMI from PC>LCDtv. This carries BOTH audio and video signal, which means 'hey user wants me to audio/video through the LCDtv'. If you wish to have the sound through a different DEFAULT device, then go control panel > Sound then Right click the Playback device you want to make as the default PLAYBACK device.
 
Thanks guys
I did that tom ... I can hear everything on my headset in game effects media player but i cant hear the guy speaking to me via ( steam or teamspeak) even thought he can hear me, also i can hear his voice on the tv.
