How to make my Bluetooth headphones be recognized as an output device?

Weird indeed, and it works for me too, but only specifically on bluetooth devices, not just headphones, but even bluetooth speakers, and if I choose any other sound output that I could it immediately crashes.

Not really a solution though for me unfortunately, but it is something. Thanks.

Hi kgthekid729! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

Are you using the controller on a PC trough Bluetooth? If that's the case you need to plug the headset to the PC directly or use the USB cable to plug the controller

After that on the discord settings you will need to set the input and output device as headphones Xbox controller

Are you playing on a Xbox console?

If so, go to the audio settings in the console settings and set up the console audio to output game audio via headset.

In the headphone settings you can also set up spatial 3D audio, by turning the audio output for headphones to Windows Sonic, or if you have purchased the Atmos App (the free app only works 14 days with headphones), you can also set Dolby Atmos for headphones.

If you are on the PC, you need to make the headphone your device for audio output (not only voice communications).

Click on the speaker icon in the lower right, and choose the output channel for the headphone. Depending on your soundcard or USB headset, you need to select the proper audio output.

It seems that have no other Bluetooth devices really helps with this controller (1.5hr without dissconnection), which mean no Bluetooth Headphones, no Bluetooth mouses, ... Cool
