Windows 10: Bluetooth earbuds "deactivate" when a sound stops playing, "reactivate" just to play a new...

My Mpow M5 bluetooth earbuds seem to only be ready to play a sound when needed; this results in the sounds being cut off because of the delay between them "turning back on" and playing the sounds themselves. I can tell they deactivate because there's no white noise, which I hear when they are connected to my smartphone, this noise only starts appearing when an action triggers a sound or if the sound is prolonged (videos). I need help fixing this, as well as how to fix the general delay I experience in games if you can.

Bluetooth Earbuds

My earbuds connect via Bluetooth to my laptop. It shows they are connected but when I play music, the sound continues to come out of my laptop speakers. I went to the sound section and selected my earbuds but that didn't help...the music continues to come
out of my laptop speakers. Why doesn't the sound work on my earbuds?

 

Windows 10 Bluetooth connecting but not playing earbuds

I just bought a set of Plantronics Bluetooth earbuds (back beat go 2). I connected them with my android phone with no issues but when I try to connect them to my laptop it says they are connected and everything is fine but sound only plays through the speaker
on the laptop.

I checked the settings by right clicking the sound icon and went into playback and the earbuds were set as default. It is showing as connected on the Bluetooth settings. I have ran the sound troubleshooter and it says everything should be working fine.

I have an HP model 15-af123cl running Windows 10 home edition. Everything is up to date.

Thanks.

 

Windows: Wireless/bluetooth headphones disconnect and then reconnect without sound if pc stops playing sound

Windows version: 10 pro, version 10.0.17134 Build 17134 (according to system information)

headphone brand: 3sixT wireless bluetooth headphones
laptop: surface laptop

Issue:

Headphones connect to laptop, listed in bluetooth settings as connected for voice,music

If I don't start playing any sounds (music, youtube etc) in the next ~30 seconds after connecting, the headphones alert me that they have disconnected and reconnected, but now they list only voice connected. Same thing happens if I was listening to something and stop/pause it for too long.

They are no longer available in the audio output changer in task bar when this happens and any audio played goes through laptop main speakers.

The device manufacturer (3sixT) does not provide any drivers and they seem to use the standard bluetooth headphone drivers available on whatever system they are connected to.

These headphones connect without issues to my phone (android); issue only seems to be with my laptop.

Unable to find many discussions of similar issues, and those that I could used outdated advice / settings that no longer exist (one suggested something in power settings for the device under the device manager page, but that setting/tab doesn't appear for my device)

tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers, rolling back drivers, making sure bluetooth service start automatically... Nothing seems to work

Any ideas how I can resolve this, so that my headphones can sit quetly for any amount of time without disconnecting / reconnecting without dropping the 'connected music' setting?
