Windows 10: Bluetooth Headphones Connecting but not registering as audio device

I've recently purchased a pair of Lenovo PS-1551B-LE Bluetooth headphones which can connect to my phone just fine.But when I connect them to my laptop using Windows 10, it generates as a generic connected itemIs there a way I can Windows 10 to register them as audio device instead of a generic Bluetooth connection?

No audio through connected Bluetooth device

I am having problems playing audio from my Windows PC through my Bose Bose AE2 Bluetooth headphones.

1) I have previously connected to these headphones without any issues. The audio was fine

2) at some point, the audio started experiencing distortions and disconnects

3) I can now no longer play any audio through the headphones from the PC

In the Bluetooth and other device settings menu, my headphones are connected. I have also tried un-pairing and re-pairing the device several times. The device manager recognizes the headphones in the bluetooth dropdown menut. In the Sound settings on Windows, my headphones are listed as a playback device, but are listed as disconnected and cannot be connected from that menu. Note: this is different from the bluetooth and other devices menu, which says that I AM connected.

My windows drivers are up to date, I have updated my headphones to the latest drivers as well. My headphones connect without issue to other devices (laptop and cell phone both). I feel as though I have taken all the basic troubleshooting steps and am not getting anywhere.

 

Bluetooth device connected but not recognised as audio device W10

I recently purchased some bluetooth headphones (GLITOBT18). I managed to connect them to my laptop running windows 10.




However, i cant find the device in the playback settings and i therefore cant play audio through the headphones.





I think this may have something to do with the fact that windows is recognising it as a bluetooth headset rather than a speaker? Any help would be massively appreciated!

 

Bluetooth headphones connect but aren't recognized as an audio device

I have an ASUS bt400 connector for my PC (the model is listed everywhere I checked as simply Gxxx from the manufacturer MEI), and originally had absolutely no troubles in connecting my headphones (this exact pair of MPOW headphones) to the computer and using
them. Mind you, I would have to reconnect them every time I wanted to use them (since I also have wired headphones as well, sometimes I use the Bluetooth for convenience sake), and that was a little bit of a hassle on its own, however, I figured it out pretty
quickly every time.

I completely reset my computer recently to wipe it of all the useless things I had on it (since I can get Steam, FLStudio, Photoshop, etc back quite easily) that were packing up my OneDrive. Today I tried connecting my bluetooth headphones to the computer
for the first time since the reset. I've completely uninstalled the driver and had it reinstalled, I've plugged the USB into multiple different ports (even though I hadn't moved it since where it was when it was working), and restarted my computer many times.

When I connect the headphones to the computer, they register as paired, and even connected right away before going back to saying Paired after a moment. The headphones also tell me "Phone 1 Connected" or "Phone 2 Connected" when a device connects (it does
it with my phone and used to do it with my computer with no troubles), however, they do not do that when I pair them with my computer now. They stop blinking red and blue and go to the intermittent blue flashing showing they're connected to a device, but don't
tell me it's connected. They are then listed on the bluetoooth devices as a phone or other device and not as an audio device, and the headphones do not appear in the audio devices (the audio devices manager, or any other place). I've run Troubleshooter (which
can't help in the audio department since it doesn't recognize the headphones as an audio device) multiple times and nothing has come up.

TL;DR: My bluetooth headphones used to connect to my computer, then I reset the computer, and now it won't recognize the headphones as an audio device, therefore I can't use them.

Is there a possible solution to this? Thank you
