Windows 10: My bluetooth headset mic isnt showing up on my pc device but shows up on laptop.

My Bluetooth headset mic was working good few days ago and suddenly the mic has stopped working with pc. I did try with updating the drivers of Bluetooth for the device yet there was no difference. While I did try troubleshooting, I couldn't see the mic supported by the headset.

Bluetooth Device Not Showing

I have an LG HBS1100 Bluetooth headset that I would like to pair with my PC. Usually(on my laptop) when the headset is in pairing mode it shows up as two devices. LG HBS1100_BLE and LG HBS1100 if you attempt to pair to the _BLE device windows says "something didn't work" however it pairs just fine to the other device. Having just finished building a new desktop I sys-prepped and cloned my laptops harddrive and booted that on my desktop. After installing the Bluetooth drivers, the list of paired devices from the laptop is still here, but it won't connect to any of the devices(not surprised). I clicked remove device on HBS1100 and windows said 'Remove failed' after trying again it removed the device just fine. The issue is, now for some reason it no longer detects HBS1100, but it does detect HBS1100_BLE just fine. I tried going back to my laptop to make sure it isn't the headset, and it pairs with the laptop just fine. I also reinstalled the Bluetooth drivers on the desktop which didn't help. Any ideas?

Thank you very much ~

 

Bluetooth not showing devices, won't connect new devices

I'm on Windows 10 Pro, Version 22H2.

I'm on a laptop using the built-in Intel Wireless chip, which also comes with Bluetooth. I'm using one Bluetooth device - a headset, Jabra Evolve 65 - every day without issues.

Now I acquired another Bluetooth device - a game controller - and I cannot get the PC to detect it. My Android phone finds and connects to both the old headset and the new controller, so the peripheral devices shouldn't be at fault. After an extended online research, I found that something more fundamental is off with my Bluetooth - there seems to usually be a list of devices, both paired and "foreign, but detected", that is just missing from my interface.

I cannot be sure, but that list might just be missing ever since, I never paid attention. The Bluetooth on/off toggle works as intended, my headset disconnects and reconnects as expected. By the way, the "printer and devices" window is also empty, even though I do have a printer, mouse and keyboard up and running (and showing in device manager). The issues seem related, according to online searches. Windows Update is up to date and so is the Bluetooth driver, according to device manager. I removed every Bluetooth-related entry from device manager and restarted, they showed up again as per screenshot (automatically re-installed on restart, I reckon). I completed both an SFC scan and a DISM scan. I checked services.msc and both the Bluetooth and the printer spooler services are up and running. The issue persists. Any ideas?

 

USB Bluetooth not showing mic in Windows for bt Headphones

Your USB Bluetooth dongle is 5.0 but what about your headset? I am not sure what you mean by "not showing mic in Windows".

What follows is my experience with this. Maybe you can comment on if your problem relates to this.

Bluetooth 4.0 has a bandwidth limitation so there is special mode to enable the microphone on a headset. It is called "Hands Free AG Audio". In this mode the headset speakers are mono instead of stereo.

My desktop has Bluetooth 4.0. The headset is also Bluetooth 4.0.

For Playback I have to set Headset (Hands Free AG Audio). For Recording I have to set Headset (Hands Free AG Audio). This allows me to use the microphone with the headset.
