Windows 10: Soundbar keeps showing up as headphones and my headphones shows as speakers.

Hi,I installed a soundbar samsung hw-s50b as my new speakers but when connecting it with bluethooth win 11 always installs the sound bar as headphones and the sound is not good thru that. But my wireless headphones that runs thru a seperate dongle he show as loudspeakers. I desinstalled/disabled all my sound so it only can use soundbarupdated but with reinstall and updates it won't accept the soundbar as loudspeaker always he says there headphones. Even run it thru differend BT dongle and it does always the same thing. plz fix this, this is very annoying.

Speakers and headphones work at the same time

Hi.

Let us isolate your concern by answering these few questions.

• Have you tried connecting your headphones directly to your desktop?
• Does your speaker work normally when connected to your desktop?

You may try the following steps to help resolve your concern:

• Unplug or Disconnect your speaker from the desktop.

Headphones do not show up when Realtek is installed

OK, so this happened to me on my laptop. It wanted to use the realtek drivers no matter what. Let me show you what to do.
Step 1. Open the start menu and type 'Device Manager' in the search bar. Click on the result.

Step 2.

You'll see this window appear.

Step 3.

Expand the 'Sound , video and game controllers' category.

Step 4. Find 'Realtek High Definition Audio' in the list, then right click it and select Properties.

Step 5.

Click on the 'Driver' tab near the top of the window.

Step 6.

Now click on the button that says 'Roll back driver'.
If the button is dimmed, make sure your Realtek drivers are currently installed.

Step 6. If you did it correctly, the system should ask you to restart to finish. If it does then you finished the tutorial correctly!
Once restarted, Open device manager again using step 1. Expand the 'sound, video and game controllers' category again.

Step 7. If it says 'High Definition Audio Device' then you did it right. Here's a pic for example purposes:
