USB Headset - but I want the audio coming through the speakers.?

Hello,

I've got a great OTTO Gaming USB headset. The quality is great, both on the microphone and the audio, but sometimes I just like to listen to the audio through my speakers, but communicate on the microphone. Especially because after a while, it hurts my ears.

If I go into the speaker settings, and mixer, and change the outbound from the USB headset to the onboard audio, it still outputs through the headset. Is that because it takes control as an entirely new audio device?

I know getting a regular 1/8th inch jack microphone would "solve the problem", but I'm looking for a way to output to both devices, plain and simple.

    Plug your headset into the exhibit screen's headset plug. that ought to turn off the exhibit screen's speaker. otherwise, flow to initiate/settings/administration panel/sounds and audio instruments and be conscious what's available there. the motive force kit on your sound card would assist you turn off the audio gadget from that verbal replace.
