[SOLVED] PC doesn't recognize headset.

Solution
Make and model of your headset and how it's tethered to your PC? You might want to state the make and model of your motherboard as well as the BIOS version that you're currently on for said motherboard. You should also look into the version for your OS, looks like Windows 10, so you should ideally be on version 21H1. As for the audio drivers, if you're working with the analog ports on the motherboard's rear I/O, you might want to uninstall your audio drivers, then reinstall with the latest drivers in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.
