Headphones are one of the many useful inventions of humankind that allow you to listen to music loudly, watch movies or play games while others are resting. So how do you connect headphones to your computer?
Instructions
Step 1
Typically, headphones do not need to be adjusted. All you have to do is plug the device plug into the green socket. If there is already a cord (these are speakers) - remove it. It happens that the diameter of the inlet and outlet does not match, in which case you need an adapter ("jack" - "minijack").
Step 2
If, after doing all the above manipulations, you still ask the question: "How to set up the headphones?", Then there is no sound, and you need to look for a problem. First, it is important that the plug is pushed in all the way.
Step 3
Secondly, the sound volume is probably very low. Click on the speaker icon near the system clock and set the maximum volume level. Check if the condition is still silent.
Step 4
If possible, test the headphones on a different PC. It is necessary to exclude the possibility of a factory defect.
Step 5
There are models that have their own volume control. See if it is set to the minimum.
Step 6
A faulty connector for connecting a device or its inaccurate connection to a sound card is another possible cause of a headphone setup problem. Plug in other headphones or speakers to test. Often, when assembling a computer, the front panel wires are left disconnected. To see if this is so, you need to plug the headphone cord into the socket on the back of the case (the usual place for connecting speakers). If you hear sound, then there is a problem with the front panel socket.
Step 7
If there is no sound, it may be due to the sound card driver. Then you should install the driver. It can be found on the disc that came with your computer or video card. It is also possible to find the latest version of the required driver on the Internet.
Step 8
By the way, if the headphones are with a microphone, then the plug from the microphone must be inserted into the pink connector. Next, on the screen, click "Start" => "Control Panel" => "Sounds and Audio Devices". Next, in the "Speech" tab, select the recording volume setting and speech reproduction through the microphone. Adjust the volume on the microphone.
Now you can enjoy sound and communication.
