    Headset is acting only as headphones and won't show up on device list.


    My microphone does not work on my headset, which I assume is due to it being recognized by the system as a pair of headphones. I tried a updating audio drivers, but it said they were up to date, and my headset doesn't show up at all under devices either in device manager or in the sound settings. Please help!

    :)

    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 headphone doesn't appear in devices list

    Hi,

    My Bluetooth headphones was working without any issues on my windows 10 laptop. Suddenly it would not connect so I removed it from devices to put again but it would not appear in the list !!

    It is working perfectly with my iPhone so I know the issue is not in the headphones, and my pc shows other Bluetooth devices in the area so I know that the hardware is working.

    I tried the following troubleshoot steps:

    1- run the Bluetooth troubleshooter

    2-disable Bluetooth device ( from device manager ) and enable again

    3-remove Bluetooth driver and restart

    4-update all the showing drivers under bluetooth

    After all that it still doesn't show in the list
