No problem, what was the issue and solution for later other person reference

The hyperx cloud comes with a separate "dongle" for controlling volume, gain etc that plugs into the headphones cable, once I removed that and plugged the headphones directly into my pc, it worked, then I put the dongle back and it worked too. Dont know what changed but that is how I did it

Title sums it up, I recently did a fairly large system overhaul, so I decided to a clean windows install, I boot up, plug in my headphones (hyperx clouds, 1st generation) and they dont work, they do work when I plug them into other devices and I have external speakers that will work when hooked up to my pc. This is all on the motherboard IO

It might not have auto-installed drivers the first time or something. Either way, glad you're solved the issue
