Windows 10: No audio from Xbox Elite controller

I was using my Xbox Elite playing a game and using the audio from the controller on my Windows 11 computer. I alt tabbed to lower the volume with the slider and now I have no audio at all from the controller. It is the selected audio device. It is not muted. I reinstalled the driver. I rebooted. Now I have no audio from the controller at all.

Hi Brad,

Hardware and Devices troubleshooter checks for common problems and makes sure that any new device or hardware connected to your PC is installed correctly.

• Press Windows key from the keyboard, type
  Troubleshooting and select it.
• Click on view all option on the upper left corner of
  Troubleshooting window.

  options from the list.

Xbox Elite controller cannot connect on Windows 10 (bluetooth)

Thanks for the suggestions.

Unfortunately, all of these are about disconnect issue. My problem is that it doesn't even see the controller when trying to pair.

However, I tried with me Elite 2 - and bingo, that one works flawlessly (no disconnect issues for me).

So what I have is that

• original controller - works
  
• Elite 2 controller - works
  
• Elite controller - does NOT work
  

I ended up using my 'Elite 2' on PC and my 'Elite' for my Xbox

 

Xbox Elite controller cannot connect on Windows 10 (bluetooth)

I'm not able to connect my XBox Elite Controller to Windows 10 through blue tooth.

There is no problem with the regular Xbox controller, it finds and pairs immediately.

The controller is updated.

I have tried all the steps / suggestions I can find - but the controller still does not show in blue tooth. (I tried 'show invisible' in device manager, but it doesn't show there).

Of course the controller works, no problem paring on my xbox.

Any suggestions what to try next ?
