  1. Bluetooth Headphones and Headset both show up in Playback Devices, but only one connects.


    I have a Bluetooth headset that has worked fine until recently. When I try to connect it, it only shows "Connected Voice" and doesn't connect Music no matter what I try.I've restarted my computer as well as the headset, and tried unpairing and re-pairing it multiple times, to no avail.I've looked in Playback Devices to see if it's disabled or missing, but it appears that it should be perfectly functional and simply doesn't connect.I've uninstalled the drivers and rebooted to trigger a reinstall, still doesn't work.I'm at my wit's end here; what should I do?

    :)

  2. My bluetooth headset isn't listed in the playback devices list.

    Original Title: Bluetooth device in playback devices list Windows 10.

    I want to connect my Bose headset to my computer. The Bluetooth device list show them as paired. However my headset isn't listed in the playback devices list; so, I my computer can't send sound to my headset. How can I get my headset added to the playback
    devices list?

    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?

    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
