Bose on Spectre via BlueTooth does not work

[BT_with_Spectre]

Bose headset connects to Spectre via BT, and then when microphone and speaker are chosen to be on Bose - there is no sound. Need to switch to built-in mic to restore sound on Bose.

NOTE: after reboot, sometimes it works for a while - both mic and sound come from Bose, and then without any visible reason it breaks.

Any thoughts on why £2K laptop cannot work with £400 headset whereas other laptops do fine?

I reviewed your post and I understand that sometimes the microphone on your Bluetooth headphone does not work.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I recommend you uninstall the Bluetooth driver from the device manager and then download and install it from the below link and check whether the issue is resolved.

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp107001-107500/sp107300.exe

Here is how it is done.

1. Type "Device Manager" into the search field to open the device manager console.
2. Expand the node that represents the type of device that you want to uninstall, right-click the device entry, and click Uninstall.
3. On the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click OK to start the uninstall process.
4. When the uninstall process is complete, remove the device.

NOTE: On the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click the Delete the driver software for this device option to delete the driver package that was used for the device.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!

I recommend you remove all the Bluetooth devices paired with the computer and then pair only the Bose headset and check if it helps.

If you continue facing the issue, then perform a system reset following the steps in the below article.

Hello The_Fossette - I am over 30 years in the industry and already made troubleshooting as you suggested - it did not help.

At no circumstances I shall follow this https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c04742289  and I strongly advise to anyone against this type of "fix". Unless OS is severely damaged, that is not the case here, reinstallation without identifying the root cause will likely lead to the same issue + the hassle of reinstalling all applications etc - this is unacceptable!!!

You or any of your colleagues have not even asked me for the logs or made any diagnostics to conclude anything to this matter.

I expect highly skilled support for the system I paid over £2k - please, escalate this issue to your engineering department management and customer loyalty - so we can have a replicated understanding of the root cause rather than swiping the issue under the rug hoping it will go away - it will not unless we know the reason it occurred in the first place right after I got this system out of the box. The headset works fine with any other systems, phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, and TVs running under different OSs, including the same as on SPECTRE.

if HP continues to insist on this "solution" - I then request a full unconditional refund and better go with the other vendor. I can not afford to have a defective system spending hours with HP support on the phone and chats offering me to reinstall the OS from scratch or take for an unspecified period for service without indicating the definite SLA time and not giving me a replacement for uninterrupted work.

Please use as reference HP CRT UK&I 5057419068 CRM:0052081000978

Sincerely hope this can be resolved quick.
