    Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    May I please know which audio output device is selected as the default in the System Sound settings?
    Go to Start > Settings > System > Sounds > Choose your default audio output device.

    Make sure your headphones are selected.

    If your headphones aren't in the lists,

    Go to Start > Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooter> Bluetooth and select Run.

    Once the troubleshooter is finished running, restart your computer and pair your headphones again.

    Another method,

    • Disconnect/remove your headphones from the Bluetooth devices list.
    • Then go to Device Manager and expand the Bluetooth section.
    • Right-click your generic Bluetooth driver, such as Realtek (R) or Intel Bluetooth driver, select Uninstall device > Select 'Attempt to remove the driver software for this device' check box, and click Uninstall.
    • Once uninstalled, restart your computer and pair your Bluetooth headphones.
    • Set it as the default audio output device.

    See if it is working.
