  1. Unable to Connect Xbox Wireless Controller to PC via Bluetooth


    I've been having trouble connecting my Xbox wireless controller to my PC via Bluetooth. I've tried multiple times but it keeps failing to pair. My PC recognizes other Bluetooth devices without any issues, so I believe the problem is specific to the controller. I've updated all my drivers and ensured that the controller is in pairing mode, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so, how did you resolve it? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Connecting my XBOX to Windows 10 PC via Bluetooth.

    the console does not even have any bluetooth hardware internally, the controllers do as they can connect via bluetooth to pc and wifi to the console.

    the reason you see the console under devices on pc is due to it being on the same network.

    the controller can be paired via bluetooth on pc but with limitations.

    audio passthrough on the controller will not work via bluetooth

    wired connection supports audio passthrough

    wireless connection with a microsoft wireless adapter for controller with support audio passthrough.

    Hi Arman,

    Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums with this issue. When it comes to the BT capability of the Xbox One wireless controller, it is not supported for all devices. Bluetooth is supported on PCs, tablets, laptops, and Samsung Gear VR. If your
    device is unable to recognize the controller via Bluetooth connection, then it may be incompatible for pairing.

    Connect and troubleshoot Bluetooth on your Xbox One Wireless Controller


    I hope this information helps out!

    not able to use headphones through 3.5 mm jack connected to xbox one controller when the controller is connected to pc via bluetooth

    Is it possible to use the headphones via 3.5 mm jack connected to XBOX controller when the controller is connected to PC via bluetooth?
    Hi,

    I'm afraid not, it's a limitation of using Bluetooth to connect the controller to a PC:

    Take from the
    official support link


    Things to keep in mind:

    ·
    For best performance, update your controller.

    ·
    Bluetooth is supported on PCs, tablets, and laptops. It is not supported on mobile devices.

    ·
    Bluetooth doesn’t support attachments such as headsets, chatpads or the Xbox Stereo Adapter.

    ·
    We recommend connecting only one controller at a time using Bluetooth.

    Elite Series 2 controller not connecting to Xbox Accessories store app on Windows 10 PC!

    Yes,

    Under Human Interface Devices, as Xbox One Wireless Controller. This is when connected with the Microsoft wireless USB dongle.

    I’ve also seen the controller under game controllers when initially connected via Bluetooth. But I abandoned using it via Bluetooth with my windows 10 pc. Only wireless adapter now.

    My controller keeps disconnecting mid game

    Is this an Xbox One controller, or an Xbox 360 controller? If it's an Xbox One controller, are you connecting wirelessly to the PC via Bluetooth, or with the Xbox Wireless Adapter?
