One such strange instance is when you connect your Bluetooth headset, but it only connects to either voice or music but not both. If this sounds familiar, you’ll want to read the rest of this article.

Why is my Bluetooth only connecting for audio and not calls?

If you’re asking yourself why your Bluetooth can only connect for audio and not calls, below are some possible reasons:

Blocked range – Your headset might be far from your Bluetooth device. If so, consider investing in a Bluetooth adapter. Low battery – If you’re having trouble connecting to your Bluetooth device, it’s possible that you’re running low on battery. Incompatible devices – When you connect two Bluetooth-enabled devices, they should be able to pair. Always check for Bluetooth capability when purchasing devices. Incorrect pairing – At times, your Bluetooth device can pair but won’t connect. It’s likely that you have a bad connection between them, and they need to be paired again.

How can I fix my Bluetooth headset if it’s only connecting to one type?

We recommend you attempt the following steps before moving on to the slightly advanced solutions:

Make sure you have charged the battery, especially if your Bluetooth audio is stuttering. The battery should be charged for at least 8 hours before using it again. Ensure that your Bluetooth device is on. Sometimes, Bluetooth won’t turn on, and you have to force it. Try moving closer to the device, as Bluetooth may have a hard time finding devices. Then, reconnect in an open area where reception is better. If you have another pair of headsets, try connecting with them to establish whether your original pair is faulty. Restart both your headset and the connecting device.

1. Run the Bluetooth troubleshooter 

2. Update the Bluetooth driver 

Alternatively, you can check from the manufacturer’s site if there’s a driver update or use a third-party tool that will automatically do the job for you.  DriverFix is a driver updater utility that detects outdated, missing or damaged drivers then, scans for them, and downloads and installs them.
