Windows 10: Unable to get laptop to detect bluetooth airpods Samsung earbuds

So in no capacity am I able to get my earbuds detected by my laptop and be able to use it. Everytime I try to add a bluetooth device, the list just buffers and nothing actually comes up.Have updated my laptop win 11 and have tried various trouble shooters but it never detects. Have tried watching youtube videos but bluetooth problems are so common and there are so many solutions and not all will work so I am really lost.

Problem with bluetooth and connecting to Samsung Earbuds

Good afternoon guys.

I have this problem with my Windows 11 Laptop. Basically I can't connect and get my Samsung Earbuds to work with bluetooth (these work in every device that i have).

Audio is connected, but I can't find the mic in my audio devices.

This is what i tried:

1. Update windows drivers.
   
2. Rebooted the device and the PC multiple times.
   
3. Repaired the earbuds multiple times.
   

My hardware is an elitebook 830 g8.

How can i fix this?

 

Hello, all! I am having trouble connecting my Samsung earbuds to my Windows 10 laptop. The earbuds' model number is SM-R180.

Hi



Welcome to Microsoft community.

I will assist you in connecting your Samsung Galaxy Buds to your Windows 10 laptop. Here are the steps you should follow:

1. Turn on Bluetooth on your laptop: You can do this by going to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices Make sure the Bluetooth toggle is set to "On".
   
2. Put your Galaxy Buds into Pairing Mode: Open the lid of the charging case without removing the earbuds. Then, press and hold the button on the back of the case until the LED light at the front of the case starts blinking. This indicates that your earbuds are now in pairing mode.
   
3. Add a new Bluetooth device on your laptop: In the same Bluetooth & other devices menu on your laptop, click "Add Bluetooth or other device", then select "Bluetooth". Your laptop will start searching for available devices.
   
4. Select your Galaxy Buds from the list: Your earbuds should appear in the list of available devices. They might show up as "Samsung Galaxy Buds (R180)" or something similar. Click on them to start the pairing process.
   
5. Complete the connection: Follow any additional instructions that might appear. Once the connection is successful, you'll see "Connected" under your earbuds' name in the list of Bluetooth devices.
   
6. For more detailed operations, you can refer to the instruction manual of your headphones or consult the headphone manufacturer for further assistance.
   

Keep your earbuds and laptop close together during this process to ensure a solid connection. If you're still having issues after trying these steps, let me know so I can help you troubleshoot further.

laptop Bluetooth pairs with cellphone and earbuds but will not connect to them

The problem: my laptop's Bluetooth pairs with my cellphone and my earbuds but will not connect to them.

Devices: HP Pavilion laptop running Windows 10 Home w/ the latest updates
Moto G Power (2021) cellphone, Android v11
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro earbuds w/ the latest firmware
Soundcore app (Android)

The phone has no trouble connecting to the earbuds, but:

-- The laptop's Bluetooth says it's paired with both the Moto G and the Liberty 3 earbuds, it won't connect to them. Windows' Device Manager does have both the phone and the earbuds listed under "Bluetooth."

-- The Moto's Bluetooth lists the laptop as "Previously connected" but when I try to re-connect there's a brief flash of "Connecting" then goes back to paired-but-not-connected. It will do this over and over. The same thing happens when I try to connect the earbuds to the laptop directly from the phone.

-- If I try to connect via the Soundcore app, using "Add device," the app searches but doesn't find the laptop. When I select "Set up manually" from the app's "Don't see your device?" screen, I get a list of other headphone and speaker, but not PCs. "Don't see your device?" on that screen says that the app only supports the devices on the list. But I assume that this won't matter if I can get the laptop connected directly to the earbuds.

So:
-- Why does the laptop refuse to connect to the phone or the earbuds that it's paired with? Why does the phone refuse to connect with the laptop?

-- Things I've tried, after looking at lots of online suggestions (none of them have worked):

: Removing the phone and the earbuds from the laptop's Bluetooth and re-pairing them again.

: Restarting the laptop and the phone, and turning them off and then on again, separately and together.

: Turning Bluetooth off and then on again, separately for the laptop and the phone and together for the two devices.

: Making sure that the laptop's Bluetooth Support Service is running and is set on Automatic Startup and Bluetooth user Support Service is set on Manual (Trigger Start).

: Checking the laptop's Bluetooth driver; Windows says it has the latest driver.

: Running Windows' Bluetooth troubleshooter.

Suggestions?

Thanks --

I'm also sending this request to HP, Motorola, & Soundcore tech support.
