They were connected and shown as OK in device manager but when I tried to play a test tone, there was an error.
In CloD, the game would start but didn't play the little intro videos with the TF & IL2 logos. Then in-game it gave the error "Can't find sound group bob/engines/..." when trying to start any offline mission, and the mission wouldn't start.
In multiplayer, I could join the server and jump into a plane, but there was no sound and no visible aircraft at all (just sitting in an invisible a/c like Wonder Woman).
In this case, just unplugging & re-plugging the USB headphones solved the problem. It now has sound OK, logo videos play as normal, planes are visible rather than invisible, and generally CloD works OK again.
