After Windows 11 upgrade Bluetooth audio not working only with teams
After upgrading to Windows 11, My Bluetooth headphones work great. However, when I open or go to a Teams meeting the headphones drop out. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Teams, same issue. I have ...
Happy to report that this fixed the issue for me: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/fix-for-bluetooth-headphones-or-speaker-using/7023c43b-c001-42e9-9ec9-95a8f96a4b4c
So in my case, after trying all the unpairing repairing, shutting down Teams and re-open etc..., finally I ended up making it work this way:
- Open Control Panel
- Open Devices and Printer
- Double click the headset to open the <Bluetooth headset> properties
- Go to tab Services
- Uncheck everything except Handsfree Telephony (in my case: Audio Sink, Remote Control, Remotely Controllable Device)
- Apply and close.
Works perfectly now. Looks like Teams "was thinking too hard" about this, and paring it down to the basic functionality gave it no choice.
In my case, disabling Audio Sink fixes the issue; I can leave everything else checked.
Not ideal as Audio Sink needs to be enabled to player higher quality audio when listening to music. Works as a workaround for the time being, though.
