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 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.
