Hi, may I know the make and model of your Bluetooth device? Is it selected as the default output device under Settings > System > Sound?

For a Bluetooth device that shows as connected in Windows 11 but has no sound, use this order:

Turn Bluetooth off and back on
- Go to Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices.
- Turn Bluetooth off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
Remove the device and pair it again
- Go to Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Devices.
- Find the Bluetooth audio device, select More options, then Remove device > Yes.
- Pair the device again.
Check the Bluetooth device itself
- Make sure it is powered on, charged, and in range.
- Turn the Bluetooth device off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
- If it is sluggish or unreliable, move it away from USB 3.0 devices, because unshielded USB devices can interfere with Bluetooth connections.
Run the Bluetooth troubleshooter
- In Windows 11, start with the automated Bluetooth troubleshooter in the Get Help app. It runs diagnostics and attempts to fix common Bluetooth problems.
Reinstall the Bluetooth adapter driver
- Open Device Manager.
- Expand Bluetooth.
- Right-click the Bluetooth adapter and select Uninstall device.
- Shut down the PC, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
- Windows will try to reinstall the driver automatically.
- If it does not, open Device Manager and select Action > Scan for hardware changes.
Update the Bluetooth driver if needed
- If Windows does not restore normal audio behavior, get the latest Bluetooth driver from the PC or hardware manufacturer.
