Hi Brian I'm glad that you got most of the things taken care of there. I think, from what your message says, that you may have left your USB headset plugged in when you shut off your computer. When you have the USB headset plugged in, Windows finds that, and sets your headsetso all your windows sounds go through it. You can change this by doing the following.
1. Go to your start menu. 2. press s until you hear settings, 3. press enter and you *should* hear control pannel.if you don't, keep pressing your down arrow key until you do, and when you do, press enter on that. 3. now press the letter s until you hear, sounds and audio devices. On my particular system, i have to press s 5 times but your system may be set differently. In either case, press enter when you hear sounds and audio devices. 4. Now,once you land in there, press the shift plus tab key combination, in other words press the shift key and while it's held down, press the tab key once and you'll land on a series of different things windows calls tabs. Press your right arrow key until you hear playback tab. 5. Press your tab key once and you will land in an area where you can pick which device windows will use for your sounds. if your USB headset is in the list, press your down arrow key until you land on your sound card, usually it's the only other one in the list. Either way, we definitely do not want your headset to be where windows sends everything, this is bad. So choose your sound card from the list by arrowing down to it with the down arrow key and press your tab key again a few times until you land on the ok button. Press enter on that now. you should notice a change and all your sounds should be going through your speakers. If not, simply unplug the USB headset and windows will reclaim your regular sound card. i hope this helps.
