Teamspeak not working and sound is acting weird

[helloted]

I have Windows 7. It's a Dell laptop with a built in mic. I use earphones also. When I use my mic in game, it seems to work. But when I use it on Teamspeak it doesn't seem to work. I can hear on Teamspeak though. Also when I open up Teamspeak, I can hear the people on Teamspeak through my headphones, but everything else, including the game, and Youtube, will come through my built in speakers in my laptop. Is there anyway that I can make all of the sounds come through the earphones?

Right Click Speaker icon in Systray -> Playback Decives -> Select your headset -> Set as Default.

As for the mic "not working" check settings -> Options -> capture in Ts3, make sure you chose your Mic. Some games also request exclusive control which can cause problems too. You should disable it in the Windows Options (same as first paragraph but recording devices instead).

I tried that for setting it to default but it did nothing. It shows 2 defaults. Default Device (Under speakers) and Default Communications Device (Under headphones). It's not letting me just do it for headphones.

And as for the mic not working, that helped Thank you so much! The microphone works now. Now all I need is to be able to hear both at the same time.

The Headphones being the Default COmmunication Device is normal, but you can still set them as default Device too... Just right click them and set as default device...

Even When i do click set as default device, it does nothing. It doesn't show its checked or anything.

I guess the drivers and tools from tell manage these settings. I have heared about something like that before.

[helloted]

So do you know of any solutions?

That above was a guess from me, because i don't know what is happening on your system.
Maybe the driver blocks headphones from being a default device.

Oh okay. Thanks anyway.

Is there an update for this problem? or Somebody else with a solution?

It's a weird problem.
