2025-08-03T06:04:44.6433333+00:00 Thank you for the information. Hmm, let's try to completely reinstall the Bluetooth drivers, and have the drivers reinstall itself via generic drivers.
Right-click the Start button and select Device Manager.
Expand the Bluetooth section.
Right-click your Bluetooth adapter (e.g., “Intel Wireless Bluetooth” or similar).
Select Uninstall device.
Check Delete the driver software for this device if available, then click Uninstall.
Restart your PC.
Windows will automatically reinstall a generic driver on reboot.
If it's still not working, you might need to get a USB bluetooth dongle for your Bluetooth audio to work, and also work properly as it might not be capable/compatible with your audio.
Please let me know if the above steps worked for you.

2025-08-02T01:18:43.91+00:00 May I ask if your earbuds have worked properly before? Please make sure that your buds are not connected to any other device, and then please try to factory reset the buds. Please proceed with the steps below.
Turn off Bluetooth on your PC.
Make sure the earbuds are on but not connected to anything.
Tap the button on both earbuds 5 times quickly.
Put both earbuds into the charging case, wait a few seconds.
Take them out, and one earbud should flash red and blue (pairing mode).
Then, please try to add the device.
Please let me know if this has worked for you.
