Windows 10: Microphone of bluetoth headphone isn`t working properly

When connected via bluetooth over ear headphones it works fine as an output device, but if I do something that uses the microphone the headset gets disconnected after a while 1-2 minutes. If I try to connect the headphones via 3.5 mm jack the microphone doesn't even get detected. I cannot see it as an input device and the apps use the built-in microphone array of my laptop instead of the headphones' microphone.

Printer isn´t working after latest update.

After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

 

Headphones microphone is not working properly on Windows 10.

Hello Oscar,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.

Before assisting further, did you check if similar issue persists on connecting another headphones to the PC?

You may be facing the above issue due to disabling the microphone option on your PC. If the option to use microphone is switched
Off, your microphone will not be getting detected and eventually will not be able to complete the setup wizard on the PC. The above issue may also occur due to the non-updated headphone drivers installed in the PC.

Method 1: Follow the steps below to check if the option to use microphone is enabled on your PC.

• 
  Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type
  Microphone privacy settings and select the top most search result.
  
• 
  Check if Let apps use my microphone option is switched to
  On status. If not, slide the bar to On status and check if the changes are effective.
  

Method 2: Check if similar issue persists on connecting another headphones to the computer. If the headphone works fine on other PC’s,
update the headphone drivers manually from Device manager by following the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard select
  Device Manager from the options.
  
• 
  Expand Audio inputs and outputs option and check if the headphone drivers are visible in the window.
  
• 
  Right-click on the headphone driver and select
  Update this software option.
  
• 
  Follow the on-screen instructions and wait for the update to complete.
  
• 
  Close the window after the update is complete and check if the changes are effective.
  

If the issue persists, download and install the latest and most compatible driver from the device manufacturer’s website and check if the issue is resolved.

Write to us with the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.

Thank you.
