Headset being detected as speakers.

I turned my PC on a couple of days ago and my headset was being detected as speakers, No sound coming from them at all, Yes my drivers are up to date, Yes I have it plugged in correctly, I've tried windows FixIt and still nothing, I tried troubleshooting audio and it didn't detect anything, I've tried SFC /scannow and still nothing, Its strange since I turned my PC off working perfectly and the next day I have these problems, I didn't download anything prior to this happening except a game update, Also I've made sure it isn't my headset that is broken, Even when I try talk with its built in mic, It doesn't pick up anything I say, I have literally tried so much stuff and nothing works... Please help

Welcome to the forum. Model of the headset, and how its attached to the PC? If it's USB have you tried another USB port for it?

Turtle Beach x12 and I tried the front and rear USB ports and none of them work.

Also not sure if it helps but when I try to play the test sound in playback devices, Its say "failed to play test tone".

I always use my back USB ports and yes they do work, The thing I don't get is it randomly stopped working out of no where also not to mention my windows media player as well... but I tried the suggested and it never worked, Any other suggestion?

Can you test the headset on another pc to make sure it still works correctly, the issue with it stopping is normally driver related. But what do you mean windows media player not working, it says it can not find a playback device? If you want you can try a system restore to a day before the incident.

Yes the headset works, I've tested it on other PC's, The windows Media player problem is a totally different problem, I can't play videos that are on my computer, That problem happened the same day my audio got jacked up, Honestly I might just get another windows key and having a fresh start so all these problems are gone..

I want to upgrade from windows 7 anyway, But I'll try to do a clean install first.
