Windows 10: I cant use stereo audio with my headphones, and i can only use hands free audio.

As the title says, i cannot use stereo audio. I have tried disabling hands free audio, but when i do that i dont get any audio. And when i try to connect stereo via right clicking the speaking thing and going to playback, it just doesn’t connect.

Bluetooth headphones can't use stereo, only hands free audio

Hello there!

I recently bought new headphones. I never had Bluetooth headphones before so I also had to buy a usb bluetooth dongle.

I can connect my headphones but if I connect them, I can only use them with hands free audio and not with stereo audio. In the bluetooth settings they also only show up as "voice connected" and not "voice and audio connected". I do have audio though but it's really bad because it's only the hands free audio. There is no possibility for me to select them as stereo audio because it just doesn't exist. I have already tried everything but I didn't find any solution so far. There is also one device without drivers shown under "Hardware" called "OTA1". It might have something to do with it but I don't know. It definitely belongs to the headphone but I have no idea if it has something to do with the stereo audio. The Hardware-ID of OTA1 is BTHENUM\{66666666-6666-6666-6666-666666666666}_LOCALMFG&005d.

The same problem also appears if I connect other bluetooth headphones, so it's most likely not because of the headphone.

I hope someone can help me because I really have no idea why I can't use my headphones with stereo audio.

Stereo Bluetooth Headphones do not reproduce stereo sound

Bluetooth 4.x headsets (headphones with microphone) have two modes:
1. Stereo headset speakers with NO microphone
2. Mono headset speakers with microphone

I see in the listing for your headphones it shows a microphone. Make sure your the audio is configured correctly so that you have stereo headphone speakers.
