    Have you tried restoring defaults on all audio related settings and see if that fixes it? Also try checking if any other connectors on the computer work to see if it’s just a connector issue.

    Quick Tip: If your laptop has voltage / charging issues, try shutting it down, unplugging power from laptop, hold power button down for 30 seconds to do a full reset!

    Double-click microphone icon in that window you screengrabbed > another window opens > Listen tab > check box for Listen to this device.  It's unchecked by default.  I'm not 100% sure that it since your headset was once working, but it's worth a look.

    @awni​ it seems to me the VR headset needs to have its audio settings checked out before you format the pc, wouldn’t wanna go thru all that just to find out it was a setting away from being fixed.

    With headset connected, I wonder if Update Hardware in Device Manager would have an effect.
