How to check if a Headset is set as a default audio device

To check if a headset is set as the default ''input'' and output'' audio device on your computer, you can follow these steps on Windows 10. The steps may vary slightly for different operating systems, but the general process remains similar:

Right-click on the speaker Icon:

Look for the speaker icon in the system tray (bottom-right corner of your screen). Right-click on it.

Open Sound Settings:

From the context menu, select "Open Sound settings." This will open the Sound settings window.

Select the Input Device:

In the Sound settings, under the "Input" section, you will see a dropdown menu for selecting your output device (headset microphone). Check if your headset is listed in this dropdown.

Select the Output Device:

In the Sound settings, under the "Output" section, you will see a dropdown menu for selecting your output device (headset/headphone). Check if your speaker is listed in this dropdown.

Set the Headset as Default:

If your headset is listed, click on it to select it. Below the dropdown menus (Playback and Recording), there should be an option to set it as the default device. Click on "Device properties" or a similar option and look for a setting to set it as the default device.

Check in Control Panel (Optional):

Alternatively, you can check the headset settings in the Control Panel. Open the Control Panel, go to "Hardware and Sound," and then click on "Sound." In the "Playback" and ''Recording'' tabs, you'll see a list of output audio devices. Check if your speaker is set as the default device.

Check in Device Manager:

Right-click on the Start button and select "Device Manager." Look for your speaker under "Audio inputs and outputs" or "Sound, video and game controllers." If it's recognized without any warning symbols, it is likely set up correctly.

These steps are specific to Windows 10. If you are using a different operating system, the general approach involves navigating to sound settings and selecting the output (speaker) device. Always refer to the user manual for your specific operating system for accurate instructions.
