Bose QuietControl 30 Bluetooth problem

Hi Yosef Persin,

Based on the information you have provided, it seems like the Bose QuietControl 30 Bluetooth headset is already connected since it is showing from Devices and Printers. I suggest that you set the Bose QuietControl 30 Bluetooth headset as your default playback
and recording device. To do this follow the steps below:

1. Right-click the volume icon from the System tray on the lower right side of your desktop.
   
2. Choose Playback devices.
   
3. Go to Playback tab, select Bose QuietControl 30 Bluetooth headset (driver) and then click
   Set Default.
   
4. Click Apply and then hit OK.
   
5. Go to Recording tab, select Bose QuietControl 30 Bluetooth headset (driver) and then click
   Set Default.
   
6. Click Apply and then hit OK.
   
7. Restart your computer to apply the changes.

Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further if needed.

 

Getting sound from Bose AE2 Soundlink headset

OK, having the same problem - BUT GOT IT FIXED. The steps below should only have to be executed once, but you may have to do them again if you update the bluetooth driver (not really sure of this) Here's how I did it:

• Correct "Services" settings
  • Image of services
    
    
  • In search-bar/Cortana, enter "services"
  • Find "Bluetooth Handsfree Service" (Status was blank/off) - select/highlight this line
  • Double-click that line to open settings for "Bluetooth Handsfree Service"
  • Change "Start-up Type" to "Automatic" (service will start auto AT NEXT REBOOT)
  • In top-left pane of "Services", click "Start" to get the services started
• Pair Bose with Laptop (bluetooth)
  • The status sequence may say "Paired, Connected, Paired" - this is what it did to me and I got it working using these steps, so not sure if "Connected" is the final state in all situations - mine says "Connected" in the bluetooth "show devices" when the
    headset is on, and "Paired" when the headset is turned off
    
• Setup Bose in Devices and Printers
  

• 
  
• In search-bar/Cortana, enter "devices and printers"
• Open Devices/Printers control panel
• Find/select Bose headset
• Image -
  
  
• Double-click Bose headset to open settings
• Image -
  
  
• Locate "Music and Audio" section - click "Connect" (sound should now come in your headset)
• Close dialogs
  
• Verify Bose installed as a Playback Device
  • Right-click System-Tray/Speaker icon
  • Select Playback Devices
  • Image -
    
    
  • You should see Headset enabled and selected.
  • Turn off headset
  • You should see Headset dim and not selected
  • Turn on headset
  • You should once again see Headset enabled and selected.

If the above steps do not get your headset connected and working, verify you have the latest bluetooth drivers from your computer's manufacturer website (call their service/support desk to get them if need be). Once you have installed those, try the above
steps again.

 

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
