    Bluetooth headphones/headset only work for some audio


    Hey all. I have a Yoga 720, Windows 10. Just got some new Bluetooth headphones with a microphone. I connected them to the laptop and made the headphones the default speakers and made the headset the default mic. I can hear music/audio from my computer Spotify, YouTube, Camera, etc. but when I do a Zoom or Google Hangout call, the audio doesn't work in the headphones. The mic does, but despite my settings and having unpaired and repaired the device and rebooted my computer, etc., I cannot hear anything through my headphones. The speakers on the computer still work, however.


    This may be a manufacturer issue, but are there any settings I'm missing on Windows 10 that would enable Bluetooth to work on these video call apps too?

    :)

    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
