Windows 10: Windows 10 - Bluetooth Headset audio only works from Youtube - Lose audio when changing...

I am certain this has to be some annoying settings stuck on.My bluetooth headset works fine when initially connected - I can turn on youtube and listen, as long as I keep the tab in focus - when I change tabs the audio stops - when I change to another application the audio stops - I need to rotate the Audio Outputs to get audio back in the bluetooth.Weirdly I can have Chrome/Edge play youtube - minimize and be fine hearing audio. Its when I need to change the source, its like Youtube is exclusively playing to headset.RestartedDisconnected and readded the bluetooth headsetOnly happening on my 1

Bluetooth headset doesn't get detected as audio device automatically

Win10 Pro x64 1809
Headset: August EP650 (Bluetooth v 4.2)
Portable TV, Portable Freeview Digital TV, Handheld TV, Bluetooth Speakers, Bluetooth Headphones, Bluetooth Receiver, Bluetooth DAB Radio, Clock Radio, TV Aerial

Bluetooth dongle: MPOW MPBH079AB (Bluetooth v 4.0)

I've got the headphones paired via Bluetooth but when clicking on the sound icon in systray there's no option to quick switch.

To get audio through the headset I have to go to Devices and Printers, right-click the headset icon, select Control, then I get the following window:





I then have to choose Connect.

Only then does the option to switch audio appear in the sound pop-up





I'm not sure what is required to get the headphones detected automatically - is it a limitation of the headset or my Bluetooth dongle?

 

Cannot hear audio out of Bluetooth headset

I'm having a similar problem with my Motorola Q9C running Windows Mobile 6.1

I bought a Blue Parrott Bt250 headset and paired it successfully with my phone. It worked flawlessly for about two weeks until yesterday when I used the menu option, "Handsfree Off" on the phone to transfer audio from the headset back to the phone when I got
out of the car.

Since then, the headset connects fine and the buttons will control the phone, but no audio comes out of the bluetooth headset -- all of the audio is still on the local phone speaker.

I've tried the following to fix the problem:

• Deleting the headset connection and re-pairing to the phone
• Clearing the list of paired devices out of the headset and re-pairing again
• Soft reset of the phone
• Hard reset of the phone
• Selecting the "Handsfree On" option in the menu
• Uisng the headset method of transferring audio from phone to headset (holding the volume down button)
  

Nothing worked and I'm out of ideas at this point. Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks!
