Windows 10: Why is my headset connected as a headphone

every time i plug in my headset, i press on the volume icon and it still says "Speakers RealtekR Audio. So i cannot use my headset mic in any game or xbox party or anything, instead the mic is coming from my pc. I need help, this has been going on for the past couple of days and ive looked through every forum and help pages i can.

Bluetooth headphones connect but headset portion does not


I have the exact same problem with my Bluebuds X





I have tried to manually add a driver through windows driver update (you can choose a driver device from the list)
but i'm not sure which one is compatible and had no luck getting the headset portion to work... *Sad




Please let me know if you have found a solution!

Thanks!

 

Bluetooth headphones connect but headset portion does not


All,

I have a surface pro 4, fully updated. I also have a pair of Revo bluetooth headphones. They also feature blutetooth calling capabilities (i.e. microphone).

I used to connect these without a problem. Recently something strange has been happening. Now when they connect on the headphones (i.e. stereo audio only) is recognized as an audio device.

Normally Windows recognizes headsets like this as two separate devices - headphones for audio and headsets for calling. I can confirm that device manager sees them both as functioning normally. But, as shown below, the headset portion is showing as disconnected. But there is no way to connect it.





I have uninstalled and deleted the device and re-paired it. Nothing works. Thoughts?

is this just for headphones/headsets or is stereo's listed also?
