I've encountered a very frustrating problem. Windows 8 recognizes my Tritton Kama headset but only as a microphone, it won't let me set it as default sound device. so some programs will use it only for its microphone and others will use it only for sound. almost never both. is there a way to fix this? or at least force programs to use my headset?

Hello SuperMegaSherman,

Only the microphone work, and the headset not work?

Please update the driver from the manufacturer website.
