i just upgraded to windows 10 and like the title says, it doesn't want to play sound though my optical jack. i got the Steelseries H wireless and i connected an optical cable as headphone sound, and then a USB cable as microphone output. but for some reason it plays all sound though the USB cable, even tho i set the optical cable as default. i want the optical cable to work so i can get surround sound, and for some reason you cant do that with the USB.
Thanks in advance

Best regards Lucas

Update your audio drivers to the latest Windows 10-compatible version. Audio drivers carried over from Windows 7 or 8 are often reported to cause incompatibility or functionality issues.


the headset is a driverless plug and play headset.
there are no drivers :/
