If you're using the 3.5mm plug, you want to choose the sound card/onboard audio as the default playback device. The headset device would be if you were using USB.
Also , check your device manager if using Windows 10
Depending on the Win 10 Build (1607, 1703, etc) Windows had this annoying feature to allow windows to determine which device you were using and it would sometimes just say, "Nah we are using this one get rekt!"
You can disable it in Settings>Devices
