The Solution for Windows 10 Headphones Issue
After upgrading to Windows 10, you may encounter a frustrating issue where you are unable to hear any sound through your headphones. But don’t worry, in this article, we will guide you on how to resolve this problem effectively.
Set Headphones as Default Device
The first step is to check if the headphones are enabled on your computer and set as the default device. Right-click on the volume icon on the taskbar and choose “Open Sound Settings”. Then, click on “Manage sound devices” and check if the headphones are listed under the disabled list. If so, click on them and select “Enable”. Then, choose your output device and select your headphones from the list to make it the default output device.
Update Device Drivers
Another way to fix the headphones issue is to check the device drivers. Open Device Manager by typing it in the search box on the bottom right of your screen. Double-click on “Sound, video, and game controllers” and click on the driver name. Right-click on the selected driver and choose “Update driver”. Windows will automatically search for the latest version and install it. You can also toggle the driver on and off by clicking on “Disable driver” and enabling it after a few seconds. Additionally, you can click on “Properties” to roll back the driver to a previous version.
Check Default Format of the Headphones
In some cases, the default format of the headphones may cause the issue. Open the control panel window by typing “Control Panel” in the search box. Click on “Sound” and then navigate to the “Playback” tab. Select your headphones icon, which may be listed as speakers only. Click on “Properties” and go to the “Advanced” tab. Check the default format from the drop-down list and click on “Test”. After every change, select the format that allows you to hear sound and click on “Apply”.
Uninstall IDT Audio Driver
If the issue persists, it could be related to the IDT audio driver. Follow the steps below to uninstall it: type “Control Panel” in the search box, open the control panel window, click on “Programs and Features”, locate the IDT audio driver from the list of applications installed on your system and click on it. Then, click on “Uninstall” on the top and it will be removed. Restart your computer and check if your headphones are working properly now.
