Arch detecting headphone through KVM switch - but no audio

Hi, I currently have a KVM switch which is plugged in to a laptop (running arch) and a windows desktop. It is a USB headset that plugs into the KVM switch, which then has a USB that plugs into both the desktop/laptop. On the windows desktop I can use the audio through the headphones fine without problem, but on Arch it seems to only find a device like "Razer USB Soundcard Analog Stereo" which is the closest to my Razer headset. When I try to play any audio (like through a youtube video, or media player) it either won't play the video at all, or will load it and then crash the application immediately after. I've been trying to search the forums for various fixes but I haven't found anything that I thought would be helpful to me. I'm not sure what specifics are needed, but I'll post what content I might find helpful:

Inside of pavucontrol, I have these options for output:
```
Razer USB Sound Card Analog Stereo
Raptor Lake-P/U/H cAVS HDMI DisplayPort (3|2|1)  Output (those are 3 separate options with the same naming convention)
Raptor Lake-P/U/H Speaker + Headphones
```

I've tried all of those with no luck, so any move in the correct direction would be appreciated.
