How to connect headphones to a monitor

Headphones are a device that allows you to transmit sounds, isolating them from the environment. To use them, they must be connected. For this purpose, there are corresponding connectors that allow you to transmit signals to the device.

Connecting headphones to a monitor: methods

There are several connection methods:

1. With computer installation. The headphones are connected to the sound card, and all the necessary settings are made in the control panel.
2. Via bluetooth. This method will allow you to connect wirelessly. The device receives the necessary signals remotely.
3. Via HDMI. This connector is installed in modern models of TVs and monitors. This connection method is suitable if for some reason you cannot use the computer. We just connect them to the HDMI port. All the necessary controls are located in the settings of the TV or monitor.
4. Via USB. A common port found on most models. The connection method is the same as in the third step.

What problems may arise

Problems may arise if the computer does not have a sound card. You need to buy it, because without it the headphones will not receive the necessary signals.

The second problem is the location of the sound card. It can be either a separate device or connected to the motherboard. You need to find the map.

Problems may also relate to damage to devices. You need to check the quality of work in the store. Damage to the connectors is also possible. In this case, the computer is taken to a service center for repair.

And the last problem is the drivers. They are not installed on all devices. Very often, you have to look for them yourself (the Internet will help here).

Step-by-step connection

Headphones are connected as follows:

1. You need to find a sound card. It can be installed on the motherboard or as a separate device.
2. Check the availability of drivers required for operation.
3. This card has three connectors. We need the one that is green (most often it is in the middle). This jack is responsible for headphones.
4. Now you need to turn on the computer.
5. Ideally, the computer itself will detect the new device (you will see the corresponding window) and install all the necessary drivers within 2 minutes.
6. If this does not happen, you need to download drivers from the Internet.
7. Now you need to adjust the sound. We go to the control panel.
8. Select device settings.
9. We will be given options that will allow us to adjust the sound to the desired value.
10. It contains a button or slider for adjusting the sound.
11. You can use it.

Attention! In most modern models, the microphone is already mounted. Therefore, one wire (used to transmit signals) is converted into two plugs (green for headphones and pink for microphone).

Connecting headphones is very simple. The computer has the appropriate connectors, and all drivers must be installed independently.
