Windows 10: My Bluetooth headset is not working anymore and I don’t know why.

/u/BRG_133 · Jan 4, 2021

It started with my friends saying I sounded a lot quieter in discord despite making sure all my settings were correct. Then my USB port stopped recognizing my Bluetooth chip or something.

I was getting an unknown USB Device (device descriptor request failed) error. I tried updating the driver and the driver is already up to date. My windows is also up to date. My Bluetooth isn’t in my device manager or my action center and I don’t know what else to do. This mic has been working great for a while now and now it just gives out.

Any help is greatly appreciated thanks!

Bluetooth headset is not working consistently

Hi Adarsh,

We have read your original post and found that the issue might be more related with the device, rather than your WiFi connection. To clarify this, and to better understand what's going on, kindly answer the following:

Since you mentioned "the wi-fi problem didn't exist" in your original post, does it mean that you are unable to connect to your WiFi? If you are able to connect to the WiFi with no problems, it means that there isn't a WiFi problem with your PC.

AD: The wifi problem was not experienced (additional information: the range of wifi access was also more i.e. the connection used to be intact/stable even when the distance from hotspot used to go high, i.e. when the laptop used to be kept farthest end;
that range of wifi connectivity went down immediately after upgrade) till i didn't upgrade the OS to Windows 10.

Have you tried connecting other Bluetooth devices to your PC?

AD: Yes, the mobile phones (windows 8 and android) have been getting connected (when attempted for) but as you may agree duration (and frequency) for which mobile phones and bluetooth headsets are connected vary (because i need to connect mobile phones very
infrequently whereas bluetooth headset i've to use much frequently and for longer duration everyday).

Have you tried connecting or pairing your Bluetooth headset to a different device? Perhaps another computer or a mobile device?

AD: It shows paired every time the suggested steps (and in past when i checked as the bluetooth connectivity was troublesome) are followed and when i press the button on headset the paired status (as expected) change to connected. From here onwards my problem
starts (which i posted at the time of opening the original ticket). I would be glad to provide additional information, if it helps you somehow.

Kindly go to Start > Settings > Devices
> Bluetooth & other devices. Does your Bluetooth headset show up under the list of devices? If so, is it showing as
Paired or Connected?

AD: No, i didn't as i don't use it for extended period and that frequently.

In the meantime, we suggest following quick troubleshooting steps found in this
support article on how to fix Bluetooth problems in Windows 10 and refer to the following sections:
