Goto your computer's control panel, and then click on your sound icon. When your sound properties come up, You should see your playback properties. It will have three options at the top (playback, recording, Sounds). Make sure your playback is clicked. You should see Speakers/Headphones, and next to it, you should see the source of playback sound your system is playing through. You should also see your headphones/headset listed. At the bottm, you should set your headset/headphones as the default source that you want to hear your computer audio play through. Once you click that, close it all out, and then make sure whatever you are trying to listen to is closed and then reopened. Once you do that and then reopen the item that you want to listen to, you should hear it playing through you headphones/headset. Thanks
