Before we start with the software side of things, however, it’s worth checking that the physical connection between your headset and PC is correct. This may sound simple, but there are a few different types of headsets with different input methods. The most common type of headsets use 3.5mm jacks. They typically have two of them – one with a pink ending and one with a green. It’s important that you plug these into inputs in your PC that match their color. Some PCs have orange or blue ports as well as pink and green ones. If you’re colorblind or your PC is tucked in the dark under the desk, this can be easy to confuse. USB headsets are also common, offering the advantage of an in-built amplifier. Naturally, you should make sure the USB port it’s plugged into is actually working before you troubleshoot further. Wireless headsets, meanwhile, rely on Bluetooth. As a result, you should make sure your PC has a Bluetooth adapter and that Bluetooth is turned on in your settings.
