    Bluetooth headphones pair, but do not connect to computer audio.


    Hello,

    I have had the same set of Bluetooth headphones for a few years now. They have worked fine until yesterday. They were acting odd, so I decided to remove their Bluetooth connection and try to re-pair them I have done this before and they have worked fine. When I paired them to my computer again, I did not have any option to actually connect them to my audio, unlike before. The only option that was shown was to remove them from Bluetooth, as seen here:

    I am not sure what the problem is. I reinstalled drivers to no avail. Another tidbit of information which may be helpful is the fact that, even though they are shown as paired, they are not showing under my audio output options. Whenever I turn on my headphones, no audio is outputted.

    I have successfully paired and used the headphones with my iPhone, so I do not believe it is directly a problem with them, but rather Windows 10.

    Thank you.

    :)

  2. Bluetooth audio headset not recognized by Windows - won't pair/connect

    Hi,

    I've run into a problem recently with pairing my wireless Bose Soundsport headphones to my PC. Up until recently, the headphones paired and worked fine with my PC and iPhone simultaneously. I have 2 pairs of these exact headphones, and neither of them connect to this PC. However, they still connect to any other device.

    The problem I am experiencing has persisted ever since I installed a graphics driver update via the GeForce Experience application (version 397.64, released on 05/09/2018). I updated this driver as a result of a few Memory_Management BSOD's and crashes while playing Fortnite.

    Before anyone says, "Have you tried a troubleshooter / reinstall bluetooth drivers / make device discoverable / etc..." , please know that I've gone through the basic steps to solve problems like these. The only thing I haven't done is revert to a previous graphics driver - as I'd rather not do that. From a few hours of research, I haven't seen a problem similar to this.

    What I Am Experiencing:
    - I've paired and un-paired this device many times in the past. So I know the procedure.
    - When I set the headphones to "Ready to Pair", the device name is expected to appear in the device list after clicking "Add Bluetooth or other device" in Windows Bluetooth settings.
    - Instead, I only see an audio device called "Headphone" that, when clicked, will just say "Connecting..." indefinitely (see attached image).

    In the past, the "Add Bluetooth or other device" would display the name of the device (Bose Soundsport), whereas now it only displays "Headphone". Why can my PC only see the headphones?

    Taotronics TT-BH07 bluetooth headphones paired but not connected

    Hi everyone,

    Hopefully this is on the right board....

    I've got the Taotronics TT-BH07 bluetooth headphones which I've paired with my Windows 10 laptop and it worked fine the first time. I found that the following day, after the laptop had been switched off and started again, when I switch the headphones on, it doesn't connect to the laptop. It shows up in the list of bluetooth devices as "paired" but it doesn't connect automatically. If I remove it and go through the whole pairing process again, I can then use it.

    I would have expected it to connect to the laptop automatically when it is switched on. I've had no problems connecting it with my iPhone. I've checked online for drivers for these headphones but there's nothing available, not even on the official Taotronics website.

    Am I missing something here? Is this a bug or is there some further configuration I need to carry out on Windows in order to have the headphones connect as soon as I switch them on? Any and all input greatly received.

    Cheers,
    Dev
