    How Do I Rearrange "Playback Devices" List?


    Hey,



    I recently swapped out my PSU and for some reason that made the list of devices available to play audio from rearrange itself, and I have no idea why or how.

    If the OS did it automatically by itself after detecting a hardware change, is it possible to do it manually to my liking, and if so, how?

    Screenshot of what I mean, to anyone unsure.

    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?

    Wireless Headphones listed in "Unknown" category, NOT as Playback Device

    System

    WIN 10 Pro

    I am trying to set up some bluetooth Headphones. Already reloaded Bluetooth Drivers, sound drivers etc.

    I can connect via blue tooth, and see that they are connected but; They are not listed as a sound/playback device, so I cannot select them for playback (by clicking on the speaker symbol on the desktop)

    When I go into the device manager, I see the headphones, but they are listed as "Category Unknown". Windows doesn't know what to do with them

    Under Bluetooth devices, they are listed under "Other Devices" PAIRED

    When I run the Sound Troubleshooter, it says that the headphone jack is on the front of the computer (it thinks they are unplugged).

    Bottom line: How do I get Win 10 to realize that bluetooth headphones should be listed as a playback/sound device?
