Windows 10: Audio Issues - No recognized built in speakers and airpod stereo problems

Hello,I've continually had issues with my computer in the past few months.First the internal built in speakers are not longer even recognized as being part of the computer, the driver is still there, but there's nothing else on the computer that would show that it can play any audio without headphones.Second, now my airpods are having issues. I used to have the option of whether I wanted to have the setting as either "Stereo" or "Hands Free". I prefer Stereo but it doesn't have the option anymore.When I then go into sound settings attached, it shows that it's there but won't let me connect.

Windows 10 recognizes my UE Megaboom as a headset and not a speaker will not work?

Hi Rachael,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I suggest you try the steps listed below and check if it works. This issue could be because of the Headphones BT SPEAKER Stereo being set as default. I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Pair the speaker with your PC.
  
• Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose
  Device Manager.
  
• Expand Sound, video, and game controllers
  and right click on your Bluetooth speaker (BT SPEAKER Stereo).
  
• Choose Disable and acknowledge the confirmation popup. Wait for the screen to refresh.
  
• Right click on the same device again and Enable.
  
• Exit Device Manager and see if the issue persist.
  

Regards,

Airpods connected but no sound

THIS WORKED FOR ME! The audio quality however is terrible for me, is it the same for you? Compared to any other headset or speaker connected to my PC, the AirPods quality is abysmal. It works and I'm happy that something is coming out of em. Hope anyone who has them working can respond and thanks in advance.
