[HELP] Speakers and Headset

[ItsmeagainhK]

Hi everyone

My previous Plantronic wireless headset just broke into 2 so I went to get a Logitech G430 as the replacement. This Logitech model is not a wireless one.

As I usually have speakers on in the day and used headset only at night or gaming with skype on going behind. I have already checked that the headset and the current speakers I have are working perfectly fine. The problem is that I can't get both to work consecutively. I have to disable one , enable another before I can use it.

For example: I'm using speakers now and wished to change to headset , I have to disable my speakers and enable my Headset.

I understand that I can get both to work together by setting Stereo Mix as the default device , " check the Listen to this device " and choose my headset for the option "Playback through this device"

However , The quality of the music that comes out from the headset/Speaker with the settings in place are reduced and with noises. Only when i enable one and disable the other will I get back the original quality.

Is there any thing I can do to ensure that I do not have to keep enabling/disabling each option and still enjoy the good original quality ?

Thank you for any help.

Are you connecting both the speakers and G430 through USB or one on USB and one on 3.5mm?

There is an option in audio settings that automatically reduces playback volume by a percentage when there is a call(skype), you can try turning that off and see if it helps.
