try the followingFor some reason the game refuses to play audio through my headset and insists on playing it aloud
1: re-plug the headset, make sure that it is in correct port (if it is jack) and if it is still not working, try the rear ports (if using the front at first)
2: Go to audio settings (os dependant, easiest way is right click on the speaker icon on taskbar on bottom right in most windows and select playback devices) If it is USB, it should be listed there.
3: Make the device responsible for your audio playback the default one (in most win versions, right click and set default for playback and just in case set is as default for communications too) Make note which was previously the default audio playback device to set it back afterwards.
4: if it is still not playing properly, and your main speakers are on a monitor, it may be because something else is routing sound via DisplayPort Cable, find the offending application and either tell it to no longer handle it or turn it off completely.
5: If it is playing via some other device, check if the said device has headphones plug, and plug the headphones there (usually jack only)
Hope it helps.
