  1. Bluetooth headphones no longer playing bass


    A week ago I acquired a bluetooth headset (Diver EF80), and was immediately able to set it up with my phone, no problems. I tried connecting it to my computer a few times, with limited success. Today, it connected without issue, and has been working great, until I noticed that if I was on either discord or teamspeak, no videos in my browser, nor any sound from other programs would play through. If I closed teamspeak and discord, youtube would work like there was never an issue to begin with. After tinkering with troubleshooters and "Allow programs exclusive use over this device" settings, I managed to get youtube to play in the background while I chat on teamspeak and discord, except now I'm not getting any bass lines. I've tried undoing my changes, but none have worked. Everything seems to be working fine, EXCEPT that I am no longer getting bass from the headphones. To clarify, when first connected, there WAS bass, but only one program worked at a time. Now, multiple programs WILL work, but there is no bass.

    I've already looked into going into "Sound Device Manager" and clicking "Configure" on the headphones, but the configure button is grayed out and I can't click on it.

    Some assistance would be much appreciated. *Smile

    Bluetooth Audio

    Hi, happens on any song - here is how to replicate it.



    • Turn Bluetooth on and connect to Bluetooth Speaker.
    • Play an album or track and keep playing.
    • With the track playing turn off Bluetooth.
    • Plug in headphones.
    • Continue song by pressing play (as it stopped when Bluetooth was turned off)


    It's a if the audio no longer has bass or is converting down to a much lower bit rate. If I then skip to another track then all returns as normal (I thought I had broken my headphones when it first happened - not funny when you have £120 Bose headphones....
    LOL)

    Bluetooth Audio

    After connecting to a Bluetooth speaker and pluggin headphones back in, the sound throught the headphones is like having no bass. Changing the song cures the issue. Anyone seen this before?

    Bluetooth headphones no longer playing bass

    the basic procedure is to "Remove" the Headset from Bluetooth Devices Settings. Pair it again and see if it fixes.
    If not, remove again the Headset, go to Device Manager and "Brute Force" uninstall Bluetooth Driver. If theres is box " Delete Drive", check it. Go to Programs and Features and Uninstall Bluetooth Software. Reboot.
    Now you have 2 options:
    1) Goto to Device Manager click Bluetooth Device and Update Driver, Windows will search Online for latest Drivers
    2) Install the ORIGINAl BT Software that you got with Device or Download it from Website from your PC Manufacturer .
    If that all does not work, you have only the option to roll-back to your previous OS.
