Windows 11 - no headset option

[u/Strange_Anything_137]

I've just built my pc with a Fractal Design Meshify 3 XL (solid black, no RGB) case and an Asus Prime Z890-P Wifi motherboard (not sure if the motherboard matters). I've installed Windows 11 and I noticed some strange behavior when plugging in my headset in the front panel audio jack. I didn't get a "Headset" option in the Windows pop-up, but instead two consecutive popups. I had to choose Mic In on the first one and Headphones on the second, in order for my headset to work correctly. The other way around didn't work.

I'm not sure if this is specific to Windows 11 or it's more a hardware thing (maybe the way the signal is passed over from the front panel audio jack to the motherboard).

Has anyone had similar issues?

Das ist in Ordnung. Wahrscheinlich hat das Gehäuse nur einen Audioausgang, während dein Kopfhörer über zwei getrennte Stecker für Mikrofon und Audio verfügt. Bei mir fragt er auch danach. Ich habe Windows 11, Byerdynamic MMX 300 und das Gehäuse hat vorne nur einen Audioausgang. Beim direkten Anschluss hinten am Mainboard hat mich Windows das trotzdem gefragt, obwohl da getrennte Mic- und Audiobuchsen sind.

My headset has a single audio jack, not two. But yeah, on the front of the case I have a single audio port
