    Bluetooth earbuds working as headphones but not as headset


    Hi everyone,I was hoping someone could help me. I have an issue with my Bluetooth earbuds connection. They show connected to my laptop and I'm able to play audio through them, however the headset functionality for calls is not working.I've tried connecting my earbuds to different laptops to see if they were the issue, but they work perfectly fine on other laptops. I also tried connecting a different model of earbuds and the same happened... headphone audio functionality works but headset calls functionality is missing.I've tried to unpair and pair again the device, reinstall the Bluetooth

    :)

    I have tried to manually add a driver through windows driver update (you can choose a driver device from the list)
    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?
