How to connect headphones to the monitor

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

Connecting headphones to the monitor: methods

There are several ways to connect:

1. With the installation of the computer. Headphones are connected to the sound card, and all the necessary settings are made in the control panel.
2. Through bluetooth. This method will allow you to connect wirelessly. The device receives the necessary signals remotely.
3. Via HDMI. In modern TVs and monitors, this connector is installed. Such a connection method is suitable if, for whatever reason, you cannot use a computer. Just connect them to the HDMI port. All the necessary controls are in the TV or monitor settings.
4. Via USB. A common port that is present 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. Map needs to be found.

Also, problems may concern 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 driver. 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 either installed on the motherboard, or a separate device.
2. Check for drivers needed to work.
3. There are three connectors in such a card. We need one that is green (most often it is in the middle). This jack is responsible for the 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 you to adjust the sound to the desired value.
10. A button or slider is mounted in it 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.
