Hi @scorine99,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query.
I am sorry to hear you're having trouble connecting your earbuds to your computer via Bluetooth. I would request you to please follow the below steps to resolve the issue.
Verify Bluetooth Settings
- Enable Bluetooth: Go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices and make sure Bluetooth is toggled ON.
- Airplane Mode: Ensure Airplane Mode is OFF.
Reset Earbuds
- Put your earbuds back into their case and reset them (usually by holding the button for 10–15 seconds, depending on the brand).
- Re-enter pairing mode and try again.
Update Bluetooth Drivers
- Open Device Manager (press Win + X > Device Manager).
- Expand Bluetooth.
- Right-click your Bluetooth adapter (e.g., Intel Wireless Bluetooth) > Update driver > Search automatically for drivers.
- If no update is found, visit HP Support or your laptop’s manufacturer site to download the latest Bluetooth driver.
Remove Old Pairings
- In Bluetooth & devices, remove any previously paired earbuds or devices.
- Click on the device name > Remove device.
- Restart your laptop and re-pair the earbuds.
Take care and have an amazing day!
