Trying to connect xbox controller to laptop

What version of Windows is on your computer? It needs to be Windows 10. You'll also need the Xbox app installed. If you're good on both of those things, first try other USB ports on your computer. You can also try to update the firmware on it through the
Xbox Accessories app for Windows 10.

Try reconnecting the controller to your laptop. Make sure your laptop's Bluetooth is turned on and then press and hold the pair button on the controller until the Xbox logo starts flashing. This should initiate the pairing process with your laptop.

Check if the controller has the latest firmware update. The latest firmware can improve compatibility and fix any bugs that might be causing this issue.

Try using a different input method. Instead of using Bluetooth, you can use a USB cable to connect the controller directly to your laptop. This can help rule out any Bluetooth connectivity issues.

Uninstall and reinstall the controller driver on your laptop. Go to Device Manager, locate the controller, right-click on it, and select Uninstall. Restart your laptop and then try connecting the controller again.

Make sure the games you're trying to play with the controller are fully compatible with Xbox One controllers. Some games may require additional configuration in order to properly support Xbox One controllers.

Try with a different controller, to confirm if the issue is with the controller or the laptop.

Here are the steps you can follow to connect multiple Xbox controllers to your laptop:

Install the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows on your laptop: The Xbox Wireless Adapter allows you to connect up to 8 Xbox Wireless Controllers to your laptop without the need for a USB cable.

Turn on the Xbox controller: Press and hold the Xbox button on the controller until the controller turns on.

Put the controller in pairing mode: Press and hold the sync button on the top of the controller until the Xbox button begins to flash rapidly.

Connect the controller to your laptop: Go to your laptop's settings, select "Devices," and then select "Bluetooth & other devices." Your laptop should now discover the Xbox controller and you can select "Pair" to connect the controller to your laptop.

Repeat steps 2-4 for each additional controller: You can connect up to 8 Xbox controllers to your laptop.

Launch the game you want to play: You should now be able to use multiple controllers to play games on your laptop.

If you're still having trouble connecting multiple Xbox controllers to your laptop, it's possible that there could be an issue with the Xbox Wireless Adapter. Try resetting the adapter and attempting the steps above again. If you continue to experience issues, you may need to contact Xbox support for further assistance.

So if I understand you correctly, you are streaming from your console to your laptop, and you have your controller connected to the laptop with your earbuds connected to the controller?

How is your controller connected to the laptop? Via MicroUSB cable or via the Xbox wireless adapter for Windows 10?
