Windows 10: Why the hassle of headset and headphones for Bluetooth devices?

I recently bought a Sony - WH-1000XM3. The device show up two options as output device - headphones and headset. Everything works great when I use it in headphones mode. But for some reason if I want to use the inbuilt mic in any app say steam, I need to switch both input device and output device to headset. Why are there two output sound devices for same headphones and any way around to keep using one mode?

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!

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?
