Modified on Mon, 22 Jan 2024 at 01:47 PM

Installing a Trust headset on Windows 11 is easy. Trust headsets should work seamlessly with Windows 11 without the need for additional drivers. 


Follow these steps:


Connect the Headset:

  • Plug the headset into an available USB port on your computer. If it's a 3.5mm jack headset, use the appropriate audio input port.

Wait for Windows to Detect and Install:

  • Windows 11 should automatically detect the new microphone and attempt to install the necessary drivers. Wait for the system to complete this process.

Check Device Manager:

  • To ensure that the headset is recognized and installed correctly, you can check Device Manager:
  • Right-click on the Start button and select "Device Manager."
  • Look for an entry related to your headset under "Audio inputs and outputs" or "Sound, video and game controllers."
  • If you see your headset listed without any warning symbols (like a yellow triangle), it's likely installed correctly.

Set Headset as Default (if needed):

  • Right-click on the speaker icon in the system tray.
  • Select "Open Sound settings."
  • Under the "Input" and ''output'' sections, choose your headset from the dropdown menus.
  • Set it as the default device if necessary.

Adjust Headset Settings:

  • Right-click on the speaker icon in the system tray.
  • Select "Open Sound settings."
  • Under the "Input" section, click on "Device properties."
  • Adjust the headset volume and other settings as needed.

Test the Headset audio and microphone:

  • Open any application or software that uses the microphone, such as a voice recorder or video conferencing app.
  • Speak into the microphone and check if the input is detected.
  • In the case where the microphone or the audio is not working, test the headset on a different device to see if the issue repeats.
