Bluetooth earbuds paired but not usable as audio output
Hi, I've recently upgrade to windows 11, I was using my earbuds (redmi buds 3 pro) fine since I made the transition from win 10. Few days ago I put my laptop to sleep and when I came back hours late...
Had exactly the same issue with by earbuds (redmi 6 pro). Failed to connect as audio device via bluetooth and sound settings (tried adding new device and it was discovered but didn't work as sound input/output).
What worked:
1.Opened the earbuds lid
2. Pressed and held the reload button on the earbuds box
3. When the light blinked airbuds were discovered by Windows and I had a popup notification on the laptop about this.
4. Approved as sound device in this popup window.
All good now!
