SE-MJ553BT Headsets on Windows 10 Home Edition (A2DP profile issue?)












1















Problem.



Yesterday I bought SE-MJ553BT headsets and tried them out on my computer, they worked almost well, they suddenly stopped working after loging into a fullscreen application (not sure if this is related though), it was pretty late so I called it a day.



Today the headsets work again, but the sound is pretty bad, like playing from a long distance under a pillow inside a metal fish tank. I've been trying my best to make the device work properly, but after 3h of try-and-error, enable/disable device, pair/unpair device, update drivers, reboot computer and chat with customer support the device still don't work properly.



What should I do in order to make those headsets work properly?



Context.



It looks like the device is duplicated:



The device appears twice





  • Headsets with microphone SE-MJ553BT Hands-Free: If this is set as default device, sound is played whith the low quality I described before.


  • Headsets SE-MJ553BT Stereo: If this is set as default device, sound is not played, but if I have something playing the volume bar on the right side of the screenshot reacts.


Also, under "Advanced options" the only option I have is "1 channel, 16 bit, 8000 Hz" for "Headsets with microphone SE-MJ553BT Hands-Free", the dropdown box is disabled so I cannot change it:



enter image description here



But for "Headsets SE-MJ553BT Stereo", under "Advanced options" the one option available is "2 channel, 16 bit, 44100 Hz", the dropdown box is also disabled, but it doesn't matter, after all if I enable this device the sound doesn't work.



enter image description here



Looking into the device administrator, the device appears twice as well:



enter image description here



Controller is up to date, according to the interface (both Headsets SE-MJ553BT Stereo and Headsets with microphone SE-MJ553BT Hands-Free use the same):



enter image description here



What have I tried?.




  • Reboot computer.

  • Repair device.

  • Update drivers.

  • Chat with Microsoft customer support.


  • RTFM.

  • Google it!.


Under troubleshooting section on the manual, the manufacturer advises to "Check if the Bluetooth connection is adjusted to use the A2DP profile"; I don't know how to check this so I googled for it and found this question on the site:




  • Force bluetooth headphones to connect with A2DP profile on WIndows


But it doesn't help me since the dropdown menu doesn't show the same items:



enter image description here



Neither does the "Services" tab:

Thanks.



Thank you for reading this far, hope you can help me somehow. Have a nice day!
