Windows 10: Bluetooth Headphones appear as Connected Voice, but no sound, playback device appears as...

Hello. I'm having an issue with my Philips PH805BK, where they are not being detected as a playback device.


I have a desktop with a 5.0 bluetooth dongle, with its own drivers already installed. I've tried the dongle on my laptop and it works, so this is not the problem. I've tried reinstalling Windows on my desktop, with no luck. Also tried other things like running a driver update program and fiddling with the Device Manager. The problem persists.

I'm using Windows 10 Education, i5-6600 with a Msi Z170-A Pro.






Any additional suggestions?

Regards

:)

 

Connected Bluetooth Headphones don't appear as Playback device in Windows 10

The usual procedure is :

• If wired, plug in the headphones. If Bluetooth, pair and ensure they are visible in Bluetooth Neighborhood.
  
• Right-click the speaker icon and click Playback devices
  
• Right-click the default speakers and select Show disabled devices and
  Show disconnected devices.
  
• If your headphones now appear, right-click them and select Enable.
  

If your headphones are still unusable, then the problem is with your driver.
It may be incapable of functioning as a playback device.
Search for the right software, or contact the Support of the manufacturer.
If nothing works, change headphones.

 

Bluetooth headphones connected not as sound device

Hello,

I have got a pair of Panasonic RPHTX80B bluetooth headphones that I use with my Windows 10 laptop. All latest drivers and updates are installed.

Now each time I turn them on, they are connected automatically. They appear in Bluetooth & other devices as "Connected", but there is no sound, and I don't see the headphones in my sound devices.

What I need to do each time is go to "Bluetooth & other devices", click "Disconnect" and "Connect" again. Now the headphones appear as "Connected voice, music", and everything works fine. Until the next time I turn them off.

It is not really that bad because at the bottom line the headphones are working, but it is just annoying to do this procedure each time I want to use the headphones.

Is there a way to make these headphones connect as a sound device straight away?

 

Bluetooth Disconnected in the Sound Playback Devices on windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for updating the status of your issue.

I appreciate for trying troubleshooting steps.

Let’s us Set the Bluetooth service and check , Follow the below steps,

Start the Bluetooth service and set it to Automatic:

1. Press Windows key + R on the keyboard.

2. Type services.msc and press Enter.

3. Right click on Bluetooth support service and click on Properties.

4. Set the Startup type as Automatic and then click Start under Service status.

5. Click on OK.

This issue may cause when your device is not recognizing headphones.

So let us try to change Default format and check.

1. Right-click on the volume icon that appears in the system tray. A list of options appears from which you will have to click on Playback devices.

2. A Sound window appears which has four different tabs. Click on Playback tab. A list of playback devices appears. Your default playback device will be the one with a green tick on it. Double click on it.

3. A new window will popup. From there, click on advanced tab. Click to pull down the menu in the Default format section and select any one of them.(There is no specific one that can be mentioned because this differs from system to system). After you have selected
any one, click on “test” button to see how perfectly the sound is coming.

And also I suggest you to try to Enable it manually in Sound Playback Devices.

Right click on device and click on enable.

Check if it helps.

If the issue still persists I request you to uninstall and reinstall the Bluetooth device driver. Please follow steps below,

• Press Windows logo key + X
• Click on Device manager
• Expand Bluetooth
• Right click on Device i.e Bose QueitComfort 35
• And click on uninstall.

Once you have finished uninstallation, Restart your computer it will automatically Reinstall the Drivers.
