Fast Solutions for Troubleshooting
Verify physical connections: Securely replug the adapter into a USB port and ensure the headset jack is fully inserted. Inspect cables for damage.
Update or reinstall audio drivers: Access device manager to check for driver updates, uninstall problematic drivers, and reinstall them for compatibility.
Reboot your device: Restart the computer to clear temporary software glitches and refresh hardware recognition.
