  1. Bluetooth headset devices only seen as headphones


    I have a brand new Macbook Pro running windows 10 under bootcampWindows has been completely updated as has the bootcamp softwareI have connected two bluetooth audio devices so far:A Skullcandy RIFF bluetooth headsetAn Evoko bluetooth meetingroom speaker/microphone In both cases the Bluetooth device is paired with the laptop but seen as "music" only device. They are never seen as headsets so I can not make use of the microphone.Both devices work fine on other systems under Windows 10I have checked the bluetooth drivers which are standard blutooth drivers from Microsoft and nothing funky from Ap

    but i'm not sure which one is compatible and had no luck getting the headset portion to work... *Sad

    Bluetooth headphones connect but headset portion does not


    All,

    I have a surface pro 4, fully updated. I also have a pair of Revo bluetooth headphones. They also feature blutetooth calling capabilities (i.e. microphone).

    I used to connect these without a problem. Recently something strange has been happening. Now when they connect on the headphones (i.e. stereo audio only) is recognized as an audio device.

    Normally Windows recognizes headsets like this as two separate devices - headphones for audio and headsets for calling. I can confirm that device manager sees them both as functioning normally. But, as shown below, the headset portion is showing as disconnected. But there is no way to connect it.

    I have uninstalled and deleted the device and re-paired it. Nothing works. Thoughts?
