Windows 10: BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES AND COMPUTER SPEAKERS

I have my hearing aid access by Bluetooth--I want to disable my la to speakers while using BT and hearing aid.

Using bluetooth headphones with my computer..

Quality bluetooth headphones, well let me tell you, they simply don't exist. You sacrifice sound quality ALOT. Not to mention battery, and remember they only work EXTREMELY close (30ft) to the computer. I actually have to recommend INFRARED, cause if you don't smoke, the sound quality is much better than bluetooth.

 

Headphones won't work in computer

Hi Willtsu,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the computer. I understand the frustration when things don't work the way it should.

What is the exact model of your asus headphone?

What is the make and model of your phone?

The issue could be because of corrupted or incompatible sound drivers on the computer.

Please follow the below methods to troubleshoot with the issue:

Method 1:Check with the volume settings. Please follow the steps given below and check if it helps.

• 
  Right click on the speaker icon in taskbar and select volume control options.
  
• 
  Put a check mark on "All devices currently playing sound".
  
• 
  Make sure you have "The default communication device unchecked".
  
• 
  Place a check mark on both speakers and headphones. Click Apply and OK.
  

Method 2:

This happens when you have the speakers set to default. We need to set the headphones as default. Please follow the steps given below and check if it helps.

• 
  Perform the task mentioned below to set speakers as default.
  
• 
  Go to Start and click on control Panel.
  
• 
  Click in Sound, then a new window will open up.
  
• 
  In the new windows click on the tab "Playback" and right click in the window and click on Show Disabled devices.
  
• 
  Now check if the headphone is listed there and right click on it and choose enable.
  
• 
  Highlight that headphone and click on "Set as Default".
  

Also try to install latest chipset drivers in the system and check if it helps.

The above steps holds good for Windows 10 as well.

Also, I would suggest you to refer to the suggestions provided by
