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.

    Always keep your audio drivers updated, and set your output devices as default correctly. If the problem persists after trying these steps, it might be worth checking for hardware issues or considering a different set of headphones.
