Bluetooth Headphones cause a sound problem

[doctorsbox]

More often than not having disconnected my sony MDR-1000X bluetooth Headphones I lose sound.

The Speaker icon is shown as muted but when clicked throws up a troubleshoot requirement as it cannot find the MDR-1000X blue tooth heaphones or the MDR-1000X  Headphone socket.

No other headphone jack socket or  internal speaker is listed? 

A reboot clears the fault. 

It is a pain as it is usually mid film or what ever... the  Headpones are running out of power,  so need to switch  to the headphone jack.... but have to go through a shutdown and re-boot before you can hear/watch anything else. Thanks Doc

Also ensure Windows is up to date.

Hi KrazyToad, Thanks for the advice. I did as you suggested. 

I had a number of non essential updates which I have installed and all was ok with the headphones yesterday, so I will give feedback again after trying them over the next few days. Thanks again.
