DTS Audio Control Issue

I'm not entirely sure how to go about this, since I've never had this much of an issue with a PC before so forgive me if how I'm saying this seems scattered or doesn't make sense. Feel free to ask for any info needed to help fix the issue, though you might need to give me instructions on how to get that info since its been a while since I used a newer PC.

Anyway, I've had this PC I bought about a year ago and never got to using until recently. Its refurbished, but it works really good, except when it comes to a headset. This PC itself has two headphone inputs on the front. One is for headphones only, the other has a headphone/mic picture, so I assume it would work for normal headset with one jack that works both. It does, just not together. Whenever I plug in a headset, it launches the DTS Audio Control program, which then prompts me to pick what I want to do with it. It gives me three options. The first is Line In, then Mic, then Headphones. I've tested all three options, trying to use both my headphones and mic at the same time. The Line In and Mic options will only use the mic, where as the Headphones option will only allow me to hear audio through the headset. So both options work in this input, but they won't work together. I've spend days trying to fix it, I've scoured the internet to see if others have the same issue and how they fixed it, hoping it could help me too. Nothing I found seemed to be anything close to the issues I'm having, or the people aren't using DTS so its unhelpful.

Am I doing something wrong? Did I not set up my PC properly? Or is this DTS program I've never even heard of before the problem? If so, how do I fix it?

    Thanks for the idea, but I want to try and see if its a software issue first. Like I said before, this computer is refurbished, so I have no idea what parts are from where. Dealing with a software issue, at least for me, is way easier than taking a computer apart, finding manufacturer info, then putting it back together. I've also ordered a Audio/Mic headphone splitter too, thinking maybe, for some unknown reason, the software is incapable of allowing me to use both at the same time from one input.

    I will definitely keep this in mind though because it is a good suggestion. For now though, I'm gunna exhaust all software solutions first, so I don't screw something up and actually destroy my PC.

    PsychoVamp,

    Then it could be something wrong with your hardware. You may contact the brand manufactuer to solve the problem.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I did what you suggested and nothing, it didn't help at all. I can still only use either the headphones or mic, but not both at the same time. :/

    Hi PsychoVamp,

    Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you have encountered a DTS Audio Control Issue of headset with one jack.

    This could be caused by audio card. You could try to uninstall and reinsstall the audio card driver and see if the problem solved.

    Please keep me posted.

    Best Regards,
