It’s pretty ironic to have problems with audio not recognizing headphones… on WINDOWS.
Multi-trillion (10^12) dollar company, btw.
(Both laptops are reasonably new.)

I am just pissed that my bluetooth earbuds at work, ever since upgrading to Win10 (I think? Been a while ago), have issues with their microphones.
If I join a meeting every few minutes audio quality turns robotic, sounds like a very low quality phone call. The only solution is before I join a meeting and almost every time I connect my earbuds, to deselect the microphone on them and instead use the laptop microphone. Which you cannot do “on the fly” while in a meeting, because then you of course just lose all sound immediately.
So it is either being ok with sound quality going down every few minutes, making it difficult to hear people, or dropping in and out of the meeting akwardly to correct this, should I forget this before the meeting.
They worked fine pre-Win10. They still work fine on any other non-Windows device I use. There is absolutely no reason to justify this but somehow it does not get fixed.
I have some bad news, they never worked like that, because bluetooth profiles suck ass. I bet your memory of them working in the past used the laptop mic.
Either that or some aptx nonsense.
Don’t know what to tell you. I used to not have to meddle with the “handsfree telephony” settings and now I have to every time I use the bluetooth earbuds in order to keep the sound working well.
If that for some unlikely reason used to happen automatically then I also do not get why that stopped and now I have to do it.
So please don’t try and gaslight me here.
If you’ve ever had non-sucky audio + microphone from bluetooth headphones I’d love to know the brand.
Earbuds, not headphones, just in case this is important for you.
And the ones I talk about are the Samsung Galaxy Buds live, the “beans”.
The issues I describe have however also happened to many colleagues where I work, but I do not know their respective brands and if they maybe also had issues before.
