It’s pretty ironic to have problems with audio not recognizing headphones… on WINDOWS.

Multi-trillion (10^12) dollar company, btw.

(Both laptops are reasonably new.)

    I cannot get Linux mint Bluetooth to work anymore even with a good tp link dongle off my desktop. It skips or hiccups every minute.

    I feel like it didn’t do this a few months ago…not one thing I’ve done has fixed, and no one can help me. 🤒

      I’ve had this issue with my old Bluetooth buds because their batteries were dying. My new buds don’t have any issues and it’s on the same 2010 laptop running mint with the same Bluetooth adapter, maybe that’s what’s happening to you?

        Its actually to connect to a Bluetooth amp thats like 2ft away. Its a shared amp, friends PC is wired to it and I use BT in it. It never has BT issues with any other device, only my desktop. And I’ve tried 3 dongles. And did all the pipewire pulse stuff everyone said to. Nothing. Imagine a CD skip every minute or so, is what it does.

      Little problems like this are what makes me hesitate from switching full time.

        Well if I’m fair, everything else has been an absolute joy and made me love computers again. So don’t let my issue stop you!!

        I absolutely can do everything faster and better on my Linux desktop than I ever could with windows, and I love learning, so that’s a big plus.

        There are far more things I care about other than my Bluetooth issue. Wires exist, its not a big deal to plug in. I do wish it worked, but I’m sure I’ll fix it someday.
