It seems like you are experiencing issues with your new Gigaware USB Stereo Headset with Microphone not working properly on your computer. The red X on the speaker icon in the taskbar usually indicates that there is an issue with the audio output. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem: 1. Check Volume Settings: - Right-click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and open "Volume Mixer" to ensure that the volume levels are not muted or set too low for the headset. 2. Set the Headset as Default Playback Device: - Right-click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and select "Open Sound settings." - Under the "Output" section, make sure your Gigaware USB Stereo Headset is selected as the default playback device. 3. Update Audio Drivers: - Go to Device Manager by right-clicking on the Start button and selecting "Device Manager." - Locate the audio devices section and expand it. - Right-click on your Gigaware USB Stereo Headset or the audio device listed under "Sound, video, and game controllers" and select "Update driver." Follow the on-screen instructions to update the driver. 4. Reconnect the Headset: - Try disconnecting and reconnecting the Gigaware USB Stereo Headset to a different USB port on your computer. Ensure that the connection is secure. 5. Test the Headset on Another Device: - To rule out any hardware issues with the headset, try connecting it to another computer or device to see if it works. 6. Check for Hardware Issues: - If none of the above steps work, there may be a hardware issue with the headset. Contact the retailer or manufacturer for further assistance or a replacement if the headset is under warranty. Once you have tried these steps, please let me know if the issue persists or if you need further assistance.
