Windows 10: Air Pods connect to computer via Bluetooth USB but wont allow me to play audio out of them.

I purchased a USB dongle from Amazon so I could use my AirPods with my computer, they connect fine but they dont appear on the output option on Windows 10.

Air pods keep disconnecting while in use

Hello,

I have Windows 10 and Apple Air Pods. For months now, sometimes in the evening if I'm listening to music or watching something on my laptop, the Bluetooth disconnects from my Air pods. I've done research and found that Air Pods will automatically disconnect
if they're not in use. The issue is they are, but they act like they aren't. Example: I'm listening to music and then they disconnect in the middle of what I'm listening to, and the song starts playing through my laptop speakers.

My Air Pods (obviously) don't give me problems connecting to my iPhone so at first I thought it was an Apple issue. I was told that because they are Bluetooth devices, there shouldn't be any issues despite it being an Apple product. I also found out my brother
has Windows 10 and Air pods, but he's never had any issues.

I've already tried:

• removing the device then adding it back. This usually works until it happens all over again the next day.
• Reconnecting them only for it work then 30 seconds later they disconnect again.
• I tried to update any drivers, only to be told that everything's up to date
• I've checked around my area to see if any other Bluetooth device is causing interference
• Sometimes I leave my Air Pods charging until I use them later, but this still happens.

This is very frustrating. Please help.

 

Air pods and Windows 10 not connecting

Air pods paired but will not connect to Windows 10. Was working until last week. Did all the suggestions that are on the internet with services, updates, etc. Anyone have a solution?

 

Audio on connected Bluetooth devices


I'm having a weird problem that I can't figure out and it's driving me nuts.

All that I'm attempting to do is to listen to the podcasts that I have on my Android smart phone through the speakers on my computer via Bluetooth. This worked in Win 8, but since upgrading to 10 I'm encountering a problem.

The computer will pair with the phone with no issues. It will also connect with the device via Bluetooth, no issues there either. But I can't make it pull the audio from the phone. When connected, the audio still plays through the phone, and not the computer.

I've poked around audio settings, and can't find anything. I installed drivers specific to the phone, that did not work. I also went to Dell's site and installed Bluetooth drivers that are specific to my computer. No change.

Any suggestions?
