Windows 10: Windows 10 doesn't Recognize Sony WH-CH700N headphones as an Audio Device (2)

Hello, I have the same problem as AhmedAlo : my headphones are only recognized as microphone, not even as a headphone, on my PC with windows 10...

Is there any solution so far ?

Thanks, Arno.

Windows 10 doesn't Recognize Sony WH-CH700N headphones as an Audio Device

Hello, I just bought Sony WH-CH700N headphones and they paired with my Dell XPS Destktop running Windows 10. The problem I'm facing is that they don't play any sound, video, or anything. My PC doesn't recognize it as an audio device. When I go to Sound
and Playback, they are there but show as disconnected. I tried unpairing them and pairing them again many times, but didn't fix anything. I tried the Troubleshoot on Sound and Bluetooth, but didn't do anything. I tried to reset the headphones to factory settings,
also nothing. More importantly, they worked with other devices and smartphones. Like I said, the problem seems that the Windows 10 (which up to date) doesn't see them as an audio device (headphones, headset). and I got old bluetooth headphones that still work
and show as a headphones device.

Any solution for weird problem?

Hi Josep,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To troubleshoot the Bluetooth connection issue, I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works for you:

• Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose
  Device Manager.
  
• Expand Bluetooth
  and right click on your Bluetooth driver.
  
• Click on Update Driver
  and choose Browse my computer for driver software.
  
• Choose Let me pick from a list of available device drivers on my
  computer and click on Next.
  
• Choose a different version of driver among the drivers listed there and click on
  Next.
  
• Follow the onscreen instructions to install the driver. Reboot the machine once the driver is installed and check if you’re able to connect the devices.

If the device is still not available as a playback device after pairing, I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works for you:

• Right click the Volume
  icon on the taskbar and choose Sounds.
  
• Under Playback
  tab, right click on an empty space and select Show Disabled Devices
  and Show Disconnected Devices.
  
• Once the above options are enabled, check if the Bluetooth device is listed. If listed, right click on it and
  Enable the device and Set as Default.
  

Meanwhile, you may also go through the troubleshooting article
by Sony and see if it helps.
