Windows 10: im so tired of windows 11 bluetooth/audio

I bought an xbox usb adapter to use my xbox wireless headset to combat the endless issues I've experienced with sound quality and "hands-free" connections. I have run all of the steps in sound settings, disabling, and specifically my soundnote earbuds have to connect, disconnect, then connect again all manually to work properly. I AM USING THE XBOX USB ADAPTED TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM SPECIFICALLTY AND IT HAS WORKED WITHOUT ISSUE UNTIL SUDDENLY TONIGHT.Windows 11 is terrible for bluetooth. It blows my mind that it continues to be this bad. I'm just completely fed up.

windows 10 Bluetooth audio problems

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

• What is the make and model of your computer?
• Do you get any error message?

I suggest to use a different Bluetooth speaker and check if the same issue persists. Also try using the current speaker with different computer running Windows 10 and check. As you are getting Crackles or warning sound it might be an issue with hardware.

Refer the link below and perform the troubleshooting steps suggested and check if that helps.

(bluetooth) audio breaks on windows 11

hello kevin,

Yes this only happens on this computer with windows 11.

i also tried the steps you provided but they did not fix the problem that i am facing.

it is not that the device disconnects fully, just the audio part stops working and it does not get listed/used as an audio device inside windows anymore. i dont know how to fix this but i hope somwone knows a workaround
