    Bluetooth headset playback issues


    Hello community, here's the situation:


    I've got two bluetooth headsets that I often use to connect to my computer for gaming and video conferencing. Both of them have worked without issue for years, but today I tried to connect them and they do not play sounds correctly. When you have a bluetooth headset with a microphone built in Windows typically installs drivers for "headset mode" which is really crappy audio with a ton of hiss and crackle, and then another mode that I would describe as high definition audio. This had been the case for these headsets as long as I've had them but now only the headset mode audio is available. In addition, all of the other bluetooth devices in the menu show a "driver error" warning. Troubling, I know. Here are some of the things I've tried to overcome this issue:

    • Shutdown/restart. I've tried both, no change.
    • Remove device / reconnect to device, no change.
    • Uninstall/reinstall driver, no change.
    • Update drivers with windows, my drivers were already up to date so far as windows could tell. No drivers have been released for either headset recently.
    • Windows updates, no change.
    • Bang head on desk, small welt.


    Other details as they come:

    • Before today I could switch between headset mode and high definition mode in the playback and sounds menu, but now only the headset mode shows up there even though the drivers for both are installed.


    Anybody have this issue and resolve it? Wanna be a pal?

    :)

    My bluetooth headset isn't listed in the playback devices list.

    Original Title: Bluetooth device in playback devices list Windows 10.

    I want to connect my Bose headset to my computer. The Bluetooth device list show them as paired. However my headset isn't listed in the playback devices list; so, I my computer can't send sound to my headset. How can I get my headset added to the playback
    devices list?

    Bluetooth headset playback issues

    Getting sound with bluetooth headset

    HI, I have bluetooth Samsung Gear Circle headset and a SoundBlaster Jam bluetooth headset. Both pair fine, both connect fine. No sound. They do not show up in "Select Device Playback". (Speakers and USB headphones show up in that list). I know that
    they both worked at one time or another, but not this time. Am I missing a step?
