I cant hear game audio through my headset! HELP ME!

[burgies]

I got a new headset and they work fine. YouTube and origin games audio works fine. Whenever I open a steam game (scp: secret laboratory, rec room, war thunder, ect.) no sound play through my headset, not even my tv speakers. All of my drivers are up to date and yes my headset is selected as my default device. For some reason the only steam game that plays audio through my headset is SC:GO. I don't know why. please help :(

1. This belongs in the Hardware and OS Sub-Forum.

2. Have you tried disabling audio devices, making sure your Headset is correctly plugged in to one of the audio ports. If this is the front of your PC, try plugging it into the rear of the PC, the Audio port there is usually much better when it comes to quality and lack of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).

Make sure the correct output device is chosen in sound settings.

This ^^

If you're using a controller and have your headset plugged into that instead of directly into your PC, then make sure the correct audio device is selected in audio settings. This happened to me months ago.

I already have it set as default before I launch the game. The audio goes through the headset on things like YouTube. It just never does on any games.

uninstall any sound software that came with your laptop(which you are probably using)
stuff like sound sonic, alienware sound center or nahimic.
