In the "sound" chapter, I cannot add my speakers as a new device, which are connected via the "jack" connector to the motherboard - when I try to "add device", it is not found.

Issue with Bluetooth Speakers Connected but not listed in sound devices on Windows 11

When attempting to connect my Vizio Bluetooth speaker to my computer, the pairing process is successful. However, despite being paired, the audio continues to play through the computer's built-in speakers instead of the connected Bluetooth speakers. Notably, the Bluetooth speakers do not appear in the mixer settings, preventing me from redirecting the audio output.

Observations:

• In Settings -> Bluetooth & devices -> Devices -> Audio, both Dell U2723QE and VIZIO SB3651 are listed.
  
• In Settings -> System -> Sound -> All Sound devices -> Output devices, only Dell U2723QE is listed.
  

Additional Information:

• PC Build Details:
  
  • BaseBoard Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.
    
  • BaseBoard Product: PRO Z690-A WIFI (MS-7D25)
    
  • Intel® Wi-Fi 6E module
    
• Operating System:
  
  • Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
    
  • Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621
    

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

• Repeated pairing attempts.
  
• Checked the mixer settings, but Bluetooth speakers are not visible.
  
• Verified Bluetooth speaker functionality on other devices.
  

Note: I have come across multiple reports online highlighting the same issue with Bluetooth speaker connectivity on Windows 11. Despite the prevalence of this problem, it appears that no tickets or decisive action has been taken by Microsoft to address this issue. Therefore, I am posting this problem again in the hope of receiving assistance and contributing to the resolution of this widespread concern.

 

Bluetooth Speaker connected but not listed as Sound Output Device

Hi,

So as the title suggests I have a Gravastar Mars Pro speaker which I want to use with my Windows 11 Pc. The speakers had originally worked for me on Windows 10, However, since updating to Windows 11, whenever I go to use them they do not appear as a sound output device, even when they are connected to Bluetooth.

I have tried:

- Using the Gravastar speaker on my iPhone and Macbook Pro, which works just fine

- Other Bluetooth speakers (Oontz Angle 3 DS98) and they connect and play sound just fine.

- Updating my Bluetooth & Audio drivers.

- Using the "playing audio" Troubleshooter and selecting the Gravastar speaker, in which it states " This device does not appear to be plugged in"

- Using the "Bluetooth" Troubleshooter which lists "Check Bluetooth Radio Status - Fixed" every time I run this.

- Selecting the "More Sound Settings" which I can see the speaker listed, however, it appears as "disconnected" and selecting "connect" does nothing.

I currently have Bluetooth through my motherboard (B660 Aorus Master (Rev. 1. x)).

I'm not sure what to even try anymore and am getting very close to wiping the entire computer and seeing if that will solve the issue.

Thank you
