Windows 11 Bluetooth no sound/microphone and crashing

Anonymous

My Bluetooth earphones have been working well all the time until I upgraded my laptop to Windows 11. The laptop shows my earphones are connected, but neither sound nor microphone works. The browser and Zoom crash every time I try to use Bluetooth earphones to listen to music or join meetings.

I have tried disconnecting/reconnecting Bluetooth earphones, turning on/off Bluetooth, resetting my earphones, restarting my laptop, and none of these resolves the issues of no sound/mic and crashing. I even bought a new pair of Bluetooth earphones, and it did not work either.

I think this is a bug in Windows 11. Am I the only one facing this issue? What exactly is going on with Windows 11 Bluetooth? And what else can I do now?

    Think I saw that the release ending in .918 was for business editions only. I haven't seen it as an individual user.

    I was having this issue, though no crashing, and then I changed this setting (in teams settings > device settings) to be on and my audio started working properly on teams. Hope this helps.

    Calling Microsoft staff

    Are you doing anything about this?

    It would be good to know it's being looked at.

    So many issues re Bluetooth sounds and windows 11 in the forum you guys need a fix.

    I have the same problems, after updating Windows 11, my headset first connected as Audio but a few seconds later it jumped to Input device (no audio, the headset is now a remote control for adjusting the volume). Tried all the method in this topic, won't work!
