I have connected a microphone to my laptop but then sound stopped working. The microphone did work like it should but i couldn't hear any sound. I also tried it with my headphone microphone and it did the same thing. My computer has only one mini jack. My headphones have two mini jacks. Also when I use an adapter which connects my headphone's microphone and speakers, I can only hear on one side.

@Lolkap Welcome to HP Community!

 

I understand that you are facing issues with headphones.

 

Do not worry. I will try to fix the issue.

 

Check those headphones with an alternate device such as a Smartphone, laptop, etc... 

If they work on the alternate device, check if the Headphones are enabled as a playback device. 

To do this, please see the steps below: 

  • Click the Start Pearl and then type Sound in the Start Search Box. 

  • Select Change Sound Card Settings in the Start Menu Options. 

  • Next, under the Playback Tab, right click and select Show Hidden Devices and Show Disconnected    Devices if available. 

  • Select Headphones and enable 

To Increase the volume on your headphone: 
 

Method 1 

  • Right-click the volume icon in the notification area. 

  • Click Open Volume Mixer and increase the volume for Headphones. 
     

Method 2 

  • Right-click the volume icon in the notification area. 

  • Go to Playback devices and right click Headphones under Playback. 

  • Go to Properties and set the volume to the maximum under Levels tab. 

  • Click Apply and OK. 

Keep us posted,
