SOLVED : boAt Airdopes 131 Bluetooth Headset Windows 10 Connection issue



 Hello,


I received my new boAt Airdopes 131 Bluetooth Headset on the 31st of December 2020. They were working fine and seamlessly connected to any mobile device. 


But when I tried to connect it with my laptop, a Windows 10 Dell it was able to connect but my laptop was not accepting it as an audio device. Although it was showing as connected but for some reason as a peripheral device. Check the attached image

The options as displayed in the above box was missing.


I searched the net for a solution and mostly found a similar kind of problem with Apple Airpods. And because I got no other solution so I started to troubleshoot with what I had. So, tried the following 3 prominent solutions.

  1. Remove the device and add it once again, switch on and off the Bluetooth service and try again. Restarting of course
  2. Uninstall and reinstall the driver for the Bluetooth device.
  3. Add on an entry in RegEdit as Value 24 so that the connected Bluetooth device is never disconnected.


I tried all the above and no joy. As none were addressing the main issue of the device was not recognized as an audio device.


I did some R&D on my own and resolved this issue. 


And I would like to see if someone else is facing a similar problem or not. 

Please post one comment on this post and I will post the complete solution with process screenshots. 


Thanx
