Windows bluetooth headset profile

Force bluetooth headphones to connect with A2DP profile on WIndows

I just got a pair of Bluetooth headphones (specifically, Jaybird Sprint) which supports connection with two different devices at the same time. Quoting the user guide, it says:

1. Firstly, pair the headphones with the Bluetooth adapter
2. Disconnect the Bluetooth adapter from the iPhone or iPod
3. Pair and connect the headphones with the mobile phone
4. Reconnect the Bluetooth adapter, will connect with headphones automatically.

Now, I want to pair it both to my Android phone and a Windows 10 machine. I want to make the phone use the HFP profile, so Windows must connect using A2DP. The problem is that it is connecting always with the best profile the device supports, which is HFP, overriding the Android pairing.

How can I force Windows to pair with A2DP profile to the headphones?

Windows does not connect with the «best» profile. It connects using whatever you have specified or whatever is first available.

You can specifically set what profiles Windows uses on what device in the Bluetooth settings for that device. How you do that depends on what version of Windows and what Bluetooth stack & software you use. I don’t have a Windows 10 machine with me right now so cannot take screenshots on one but the process is vaguely similar.

For example with an Intel Bluetooth driver and default stack under Windows 7, right clicking on the device in Devices and Printers allows you to select what to connect with:

Alternatively, right clicking and selecting Properties allows you to disable or deselect individual profiles and services:

bluetooth profiles in-use on Windows 10

tl;dr how do I list in-use «bluetooth profiles». In Windows 10, I would like a listing of Bluetooth Profiles currently in-use for Bluetooth connected devices. Is there a Powershell command or application for this? For example, which profile (and codec) is my bluetooth-connected headset currently using?

I know of nirsoft’s BluetoothView. Unfortunately the latest version 1.66 does not list Bluetooth Profiles used.

1 Answer 1

Here is a partial answer that will list the Service of active bluetooth devices; use cmdlet Get-PnpDevice and filter «Bluetooth» devices.

Get-PnpDevice | Where-Object

Using Format-Table to filter properties, the interesting properties were:

PS> Get-PnpDevice | Where-Object | ` Format-Table -Property Name,Present,Status,Service,Description,Caption -Wrap -AutoSize | out-string -width 9999 

Here is a sampling of the output I get

Name Present Status Service Description Caption ---- ------- ------ ------- ----------- ------- Personal Area Network NAP Service True OK Personal Area Network NAP Service Personal Area Network NAP Service BT-850ANC Avrcp Transport True OK Microsoft_Bluetooth_AvrcpTransport Microsoft Bluetooth Avrcp Transport Driver BT-850ANC Avrcp Transport BT-850ANC True OK Bluetooth Device BT-850ANC HEADSET123 True OK Bluetooth Device HEADSET123 HEADSET123 Avrcp Transport True OK Microsoft_Bluetooth_AvrcpTransport Microsoft Bluetooth Avrcp Transport Driver HEADSET123 Avrcp Transport Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI) True OK RFCOMM Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI) Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI) Realtek Bluetooth 5.1 Adapter True OK BTHUSB Realtek Bluetooth 5.1 Adapter Realtek Bluetooth 5.1 Adapter Object Push Service True OK Object Push Service Object Push Service . 

Both BT-850ANC and HEADSET123 are headsets. But HEADSET123 is off. Whereas BT-850ANC is connected and active.

Unfortunately, this does not cleanly list formal Bluetooth profiles. Also, it’s not clear which devices are currently active and connected. However, it is a starting point.
