Viewing battery level for Bluetooth Headphones

Hello Jerry my name is Bradford and I'm an Independent Advisor for the Microsoft Community and I'll try to help you find the battery level information for your Bluetooth Headphones. I suggest you try the following steps:

1. Open the "Settings app".

2. Open the page "Devices", then go to "Bluetooth & other devices".

3. On the right, find your device in the list under "Mouse, keyboard, & pen".

Please note that you might have to scroll further down if there is a section labeled "Audio" since Bluetooth Headphones are an Audio device.

4. You will see the battery level indicator next to the device name.

If this doesn't help you find the information you need please let me know so that I can provide other options!

 

Microphone Boost level not going beyond 10 dB

Hello Elenwood,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

What is the make and model of the computer?

Recent software changes can affect the ability of your device function. You may want to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

Method 1: Set the default value in Audio Settings.


You can set the microphone boost value from 0.0 dB to +40 dB using the slider provided. If the slider is limited to +10 dB on the max, kindly follow the steps given below and see if it works.

• From the Start menu, search for
  Manage audio devices and click on it.
  
• Go to the Recording tab and right click on the
  active microphone which has a green check mark on it to select
  Properties.
  
• From the General tab, switch to Advanced
  tab and uncheck the option ‘Allow application to take executive control of this device’.
  
• Click on Apply and OK.
  
• Unplug the microphone and replug it to check if you can increase the Microphone Boost level beyond 10 dB.
  

Method 2: Update Sound card driver.

I would recommend you to visit the manufacturer’s website, to download the compatible drivers for the sound card and to install them on the computer.

For further information, you may refer the article here to Update drivers in Windows 10.
