    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.

    With your headphones connected with Bluetooth

    Left-click on little speaker (bottom right on desktop)

    Low sound volume in headphones - Windows 10

    I have same problem

    my new notebook is windows 10 2004 intel 10Gth CPU



    but use Bluetooth Headphones play with Stereo is low sound

    100 volume like 1 volume sound

    and play with Hands-free AG Audio is correct sound

    100 volume is 100 volume sound

    I try ...

    1. install windows updates many times
    2. use regedit set DisableAbsoluteVolume

      0 to 1
    3. reinstall Stereo A2DP Driver
    4. repairing Bluetooth Headphones

    amazing

    Stereo Sound is Fixed

    100 volume is 100 volume sound

    I don't know which is correct solution

    Problem getting stereo sound from headphones


    I have an HP laptop, and my sound card is (displayed using PCIutils for Windows):

    Code:
    Code:
    Intel Corporation 7 Series / C210 Series
    and I am finding difficulties in getting stereo sound from analogical headphones (plugged in with 3.5mm jack). Drivers downloaded from HP or Realtex do not work, drivers supplied by Windows (although they are Realtek drivers as well) sometimes work, I mean: speakers and headphones are shown together at the mixer, and sound from headphones is not stereo. I then go to device manager, audio input and output, and uninstall "Speakers/Headphones". I then reboot with my headphones plugged in, and, after that, the sound is stereo, and (IIRC) the mixer distinguishes between headphones and speakers.

    But then things get broken back soon: one time, the windows updated the sound driver, and no stereo sound again. I uninstalled the device, rebooted, and stereo back. Then I unplugged the headphones, and windows said that no speakers were found: I restarted the audio device, speakers were found again, but stereo broken again *Mad

    I think that debugging this looks tricky but, do you have any ideas?

    Thank you in advance.
