headset and speakers

I’m trying Dragon Speaking Naturally (11.5 premium) and I have a monaural headset. When the headset is enable, sound is sent to the headset and not my computer speakers. Is there a way to configure the headset so that it acts as a microphone only and all sound is sent to speakers?

Thank you.

Is your headset USB or does it use mini plugs? If mini plugs you can just plug in the mike plug {pink} and it should work. If it’s a USB I don’t know if it is possible. :cheers:

I’m assuming that this is in Windows 7.

Go to the Control Panel and select the ‘Sound’ icon. Note – I have my Control Panel set up displaying Small Icons – the Sound icon may be hidden inside one of the categories if you have Category view selected.

Anyway, the Sound icon opens up to a window that allows you to specify your default playback and recording devices. The Playback tab is first – you should see several devices listed. One will be your headset and will have a green checkmark showing that is the current default. Find the device that corresponds to your computer speakers (on my system, that’s the Realtek High Definition Audio device). Right-click on that device and select “Set as default device”.

You should be good to go.
