Discord Not Playing Sound Through Headset

  

ATTENTION IF IT'S NOT WORKING FOR YOU!! For everyone having issues with the enhancement tab not showing up or working: what you must do is update your audio. This problem started yesterday, I can currently not get any sound from discord to come through my headphones (Steelseries Siberia v3) with the desktop app. If I change my default device to my computer speakers the sound will come through that, however if I change the default device back to this headset its all silent (though all other games.

Hi,
I have the Steelseries Arctis 7 Headphones. I am getting sound from the headphones when i watch movies using a video player software and from the browser when watching e.g. YouTube.
I am not getting any sound when I play games e.g. when games from Steam or from my desktop.
What could be wrong?
In Sound devices there is a Steelseries Arctis 7 chat and this is set as default device. I click test and I hear sound.
There is also Steelseries Arctis 7 Game and this is enabled.
There is Realtek High Definition Audio and this is disabled.
There is Nvidia High Definition Audio and this is disabled. There are 3 of these displayed and they are disabled.
I'm not sure where this has come from. Is it from the Graphics Card. I have the GeForce 1060
Can anyone help, why is the sound not working when I play games? It works when I watch movies and YouTube.
Thanks, Riaz

  1. In case the Sound Icon is visible and you still cannot hear any sound coming out of the Headphone Jack, you can try out methods as provided below to fix the problem of Headphones not working in Windows 10. Update Audio/Sound Drivers. Follow the steps below to Update the Audio or Sound Drivers on your Windows 10 computer.
  2. Apr 02, 2016 I understand that the audio is playing through speakers in your Windows 10 laptop. Follow the steps and check if it helps. Method: I would also suggest you to make your headphone as the default device when it is plugged in. This may happen when you have the external speakers set to default. Perform the task mentioned below to set headphones as.
  3. If you are using headphones to stream and you are listening to your Discord audio through these headphones then select that option. Or, select your computer speakers from the list. Whatever you use to listen to Discord, click on it, then click “Apply” and “OK” to save these settings. This should allow viewers to hear your Discord audio.
