Bluetooth headset connects but no sound (Airpods Pro & Bose QC 3.0) Dell XPS1950
Hi,
I have a DELL XPS 9550 that has never been able to work with any bluetooth audio devices. I have this problem with my Bose QC3.0 and recently tried it with me Apple Airpods Pro, it connects but no sounds comes through. What's interesting is with the Airpods I can press them to pause the music and to resume, but no sound comes through.
Note: I also own a Dell xps 9560 and all bluetooth devices work fine paired with it. This has a Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4 Bluetooth.
I've tried uninstalling all sound and bluetooth related drivers to no avail, as well as updating to the latest.
When I connected a jack headphone it works perfectly fine.
When I go to Control Panel > Hardware and sound > Sound > Playback. The Bluetooth Hands-free Audio always shows disconnected and I can't change it to default. This problem occurs with both headsets. I also noticed that once a bluetooth audio device is connected it does not show up here as connected or disconnected unlike my 9560
I've tried everything on this thread and have had no success: https://www.dell.com/community/Laptops-General-Read-Only/Bluetooth-headset-connects-but-no-sound-is-heard/m-p/4135987
Device Manager Bluetooth shows Dell Wireless 1830 Bluetooth 4.1 LE.
Please help!

@Vinnyme I solved my problem going to Control panel - Hardware and sounds - Devices and printers. Then double-click on the airpods. This will open a window to control the device capabilities. Click on 'Connect' on the right of the Music and Sound functionality.

Thanks, Dell wasn't able to help me. After speaking to a computer store, turns out its a known hardware issue that affects some models. Only way around it is to get a bluetooth dongle.
