Windows 10: Bluetooth Headphones Sony MDR XB950N1 Connected Voice, not stereo Windows 10 pro v.1909 -

Hi, I'm using a VAIO SVF15N1A1J, on Windows 10 Pro v.1909.

I clean installed for the 1909 update without most of the old Windows 8 VAIO drivers.


Ever since upgrading the laptop's been running ALOT faster when compared to the previous versions.

However I can't use my Bluetooth Headphone to listen to my music anymore...


I'm using a Sony MDR XB950N1, but it always only connects as Voice only, the Stereo is disabled and whatever I do, it just won't enable.

It sounds so bad just like radio very muffled sounding... and noisy too...


Things I've tried to do to troubleshoot:

1. Disable the Handsfree Output and Input and try to enable Stereo from sound control panel

2. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Headphones

3. Uninstalling and reinstalling the bluetooth Drivers

4. Installing the VAIO driver for Windows 8 Doesn't work s I Uninstalled it again

5. Running trouble shoot for Audio MDR XB 950N1 - Stereo and it only says that its not plugged in

6. Running troubleshoot for Bluetooth No problem detected

7. Device manager, disabling one of the 2 drivers for the Headphones


NOTES:

1. There are 2 Drivers under Bluetooth for the Headphones 1. MDRXB950N1 & 2. MDRXB950N1 Avrcp Transport


2. There are 3 Unknown Devices under Other

3. I have 3 devices I've connect through bluetooth to this laptop

What can I do to fix this please help me...

Thank you

Windows 10 Bluetooth cannot find my Sony MDR-XB950BT/B Headphones

From the Manual of your sony mdr-xb950bt headphones:

1. place unit 1 meter from bluetooth device
   
2. enter pairing mode by pressing POWER button for 7 seconds
   
3. when the device is detected, select MDR-XB950BT, if passkey asked for enter "0000"
   
4. make the bluetooth connection from the bluetooth device
   

With this said, you should maybe set the allow to find this computer setting to "ON" to be on the safe side.

I found the manual here Sony Manuals for XB950BT
