hi,

My Microsoft Modern Wireless headset just stopped working while I am watching some youtube video. I got no sound from it. It still connected to my PC with attached USB Link that came with the headset.

Somehow the white light on the headset is on, even I switched it off and without connected to a usb-c cable. Very strange and looks like it just froze.

It is a great headset and please help.

Thanks

Kevin

I was suffering with the same issue, but solved it with these steps:

  1. Turn off the headset
  2. Plugged the headset in a cellphone charger (USB-C 20W)
  3. Turn on the headset
  4. Press and hold the Bluetooth and call buttons together for 10 seconds

I don't know if all the steps are necessary, maybe just using the charger is the catch. Good luck everyone!

    yeah, it's weird, it works perfectly with my cell phone and with my laptop when working on Bluetooth. As a side gig I also run a sound desk in a church as well as a live streaming PC... now the fun part there is when you realise just how many sources of sound your computer is picking up, and different software will choose different ones to get the sound from!
