What should I do if my headphones are recognized as speakers?

When I plug my headphone jack into the USB port, the Windows system recognizes it as speakers, and the sound is extremely loud. I have to set the game to 40 and the system to 20 to make it tolerable.

    Manually select the headset as the default device in Sound Settings > Output Devices and update the audio driver (Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers > Update Driver).
