When connecting headphones with a microphone to a computer, many face problems such as the lack of sound in the headphones or the lack of voice transmission through the microphone. How to connect headphones with a microphone so that everything works properly?
Necessary
Headphones with microphone, computer
Instructions
Step 1
Headphones equipped with a microphone can be connected to a computer using a cord, as well as via Bluetooth technology. There is no particular difference in the quality of the sound signal between similar models, the only difference is in the way of connecting and transmitting information. It is also worth noting that headphones that work via Bluetooth are more comfortable to use, which is due to the absence of all kinds of wires. However, when using these headphones, you will often have to change the battery in them.
Step 2
Connecting headphones with a microphone working via Bluetooth to a computer. Included with the headphones you will be provided with a USB Bluetooth sensor, as well as a disk with drivers supporting the transfer of information through this communication channel. Initially, you need to install the software on your computer, which is included on the disc, then insert the transmitter into the USB port and activate the headphones and microphone. Connecting headphones using this technology is somewhat easier than connecting headphones with a microphone using a cord.
Step 3
Before you connect the headphone cord to your computer, pay attention to the color of the plugs. So, the pink plug will refer to the microphone input, and the green plug, respectively, to the headphone jack. The inputs on the computer are also made in different colors, so you can easily understand which plug should be connected to a particular socket. First, plug in one jack (microphone or headphones, it doesn't matter). A window will automatically appear on the monitor where you have to select the type of connected device - if you have connected a microphone, define it as a microphone input and click OK, if you have included the headphone plug, set the value to “headphones” and also confirm the changes. After the first plug is configured, you can connect the second.
If there is no sound in the headphones, and the microphone does not work, set all parameters in the volume settings to the maximum level.
