Audio does not work and videos do not play IF I connect my bluetooth headphones
My bluetooth headphones have always worked fine with Windows Very recently this issue started happening. When I connect my headphones, they connect to windows just fine but they do not function at all. They cannot produce sound and they cause it to infinitely buffer whenever I try to play a video (not just in-browser, it happens in video players too and even in audacity)
It temporarily goes away when I restart. It always comes back eventually. I have already tried the obvious, like unpairing and re-pairing the headphones, "uninstalling" all the bluetooth audio devices in device manager, force-restarting the audio services. None of it works at all.
I don't understand. On a fresh windows install it would work no problem. I can do that but I don't want to.
All I need to do (presumably) is uninstall everything remotely related to bluetooth/audio and it should fix itself. Right?
