    Bluetooth Headphones won't connect properly to my laptop. Pairing Issue and Audio Skips.


    Hi,


    I'm having lots of problems getting my headphones to connect. They were okay for a while after I got them but my laptop had to be repaired and its firmware reset and now the audio skips when I connect the headphones if I can connect them and when I try to connect them regardless of success I sometimes can't open my settings to adjust things because it's forced to minimise. If I unpair the headphones I can't get them to pair again except sometimes it does and then I get the skipping. The laptop says its paired and ready to go but the headphones are still searching and the laptop flicks from connected to not connected. I can connect the LE_WH-1000XM3 but that gets sorted under other devices and not audio or mic so I have no sound or mic. WH-1000XM3 shows up as a seperate device that can't connect and says to check the device is still discoverable it is. It says it's paired but my headphones keep searching and won't connect if I restart them.


    I've tried resetting the bluetooth according to other people's suggestions to problems on here but nothing has worked. To my knowledge all drivers are up to date but when I'm in the device manager there are 6 or so copies of the 'LE generic attribute service'. I've tried deleting them but they reappear.


    I've tried everything I can think of several times and none of it has worked. The headphones connect fine to my phone and other devices so it seems to be my laptop.


    For clarity when I say the audio skips it's not an occasional skip, I can't listen to anything because it's a constant skipping getting maybe half a second of audio then half a second of nothing and that repeats. The mic works fine when I can get it to connect.


    This has been going on for months now, please help.

    :)

    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

  3. 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?
