    Trouble disconnecting and reconnecting bluetooth headphones


    Recently got a new laptop with windows 11 my old one had windows 10 and I chose not to make the upgrade.I connected my headphones with no issue but when I turn them off or disconnect them, the bluetooth center still lists them as "connected", just with no mic/audio details, and I can't reconnect them afterwards. If i click disconnect again, it'll just say "couldn't disconnect". I've removed and readded them but this issue still persistsWhen my headphones are actually connected:https://imgur.com/a/test-ZmFHrEf for some reason I can't upload images directly without getting an error - ple

  2. Bluetooth headphones "disconnected" and will not reconnect

    I recently bought new sony bluetooth headphones and they were working great (besides the fact that i had to go out and buy a dongle) until today when i noticed that only the "headset" would connect and there was not an option to input "headphones" like there
    was before. So then i went to "playback deceives and noticed that it listed "headphones" as disconnected. i right clicked on it and clicked "connect" but it didn't do anything. I disconnected and reconnect my "headset" to test if it was something with my
    Bluetooth but it disconnected and reconnect fine.

    please help

  3. Bluetooth headphones constantly disconnect and reconnect if sound is not actively playing

    Hello,

    I have a pair of jlab jbuds that used to use with my old laptop, a 2 year old Dell, with no problem whatsoever. I recently bought a brand new ASUS computer, and now those same headphones cannot stop disconnecting and reconnecting whenever there isn't any
    sound actively playing.

    I have tried:

    • restarting my computer
    • updating windows
    • deleting and redownloading the bluetooth driver
    • turning power saving settings off on my bluetooth settings
    • disconnecting and reconnecting the headphones
    • running the troubleshooter

    None of these seem to work at all. Worth noting: because this is a new laptop, there is no "old" driver to "revert" to - this has been a problem since I opened the box. My computer is set to work with Bluetooth 5.1, my headphones are Bluetooth 5.0. Worth
    noting that I have a much older pair of Bluetooth headphones set to work with Bluetooth 3, and they do not have this problem. Only my newer pair of headphones with Bluetooth 5.0.

    Please help me, this is driving me mad.
