lelapin Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) I have my HP laptop linked to my TV via HDMI but I am not happy with the sound quality I get from my TV when using it. Is it possible to link the Bluetooth Earphone that I currently use for my IPhone to link to my laptop.

KittenKong Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 If your laptop has BT then all you need to do is pair the laptop and the headphones. Then, if it isnt automatic, select the BT headphones as your sound output rather than the HDMI connection. You do this from the sound icon at the bottom right by the clock. If your laptop does not have BT then just buy a BT USB dongle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelapin Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 I have BT but I am having trouble linking laptop and headphones. It links automatically with my phone but when I switch it on near my computer, nothing happens and the sound still comes from my TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming "It" refers to your headphones. As long as they've already been linked with your phone, and your phone is turned on, the headphones won't be able to link to another BT source (in this case your laptop). Proximity won't matter unless your phone is dozens of meters away from the headphones. I'd try the following: Turn off your headphones Turn off your phone Start your laptop (if it's not already started/booted up) Turn on your headphones Link/pair them to your laptop using the BT interface on your laptop (if they're not already paired) Go to the sound preferences and select the BT headphones as the sound output, as KittenKong suggested Start your movie Good luck.

bendejo Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I'm also doing a laptop to HDMI, usually with the sound from a set of speakers hooked up to the headphone jack. Sometimes I want headphones so a use a BT set. I'm all paired up, but I found the easiest (and sanest) way to activate is, after I turn the headphones on, to turn BT off and then on again in Windows, it's just 2 clicks. There is a much more complicated way, and it is very easy to make the sound come out from where you don't want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turning BT off on the phone should fix it (on Android, swipe down from the top and click on the BT icon). Once that is done the laptop and the headphones would need to be paired, if they havent already been. From that point it should all work fine. Buying a dongle will not make the above any easier as the headphones still wont connect to two BT devices at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
