I got a Vivitar headset /mic from Santa. I cant get any amount of volume out of it. Its just not in the game but in all sounds. Anyone ever contended with this? All game sounds and Win output sliders are at max. Win 10 machine.
-
What model? Is it wireless? Does the headset have volume controls?
-
If it's USB, check if there's a dropdown menu in the volume setting where you should find the Vivitar. Or you can go to Windows Settings>System>Sound and choose the output device from there.

Thats all theinfo I have on the model number. Audio is 1/8" mini. No adjustments in Windows. Might be time to return it. And its not wireless.
-
If you can't get it to work properly in windows, you should return it and get one that does.

Although it uses a standard audio plug and thus the built-in sound circuit of the motherboard, double check the output device. Your video card may have hijacked the audio through HDMI.
Also, assuming you're having a Realtek audio circuit, check the Realtek control panel to have the jack assigned to Speakers/Headphones.
And yet another thing: Does your computer have separate jacks for speakers (often green) and microphone (pink)? If so, does your headset have only one plug? If that's the case you'd need a splitter. A normal stereo plug is divided into three but if there's four sections (tip-ring-ring-stem) one is for the microphone. The microphone jack is also stereo but computer microphones are usually wired to split the signal for both ears.
