Fix Bluetooth Headphone keeps shuffling speakers and headphone output playback

I have an Edifier W600BT Bluetooth headphone and Acer Nitro 5 (Intel 10300h/RTX 3060 model). It will connect successfully in my laptop but after a couple of seconds, it will stuck switching speakers and headphone. I found the fix itself since most of the fix in the Google not working for me. This method it may or may not help your issue. I want to share the fix specially have the same Bluetooth headphone and acer laptop model.

1. Connect your Bluetooth headphone

2. Once connected, wait a couple of seconds until it will keep switching in playback menu.

3. Open ‘Device Manager’

4. Disable ‘EDIFIER W600BT Hands-Free AG’ (it may vary on your Bluetooth headphone) under ‘System Devices’

5. Disable ‘Headset (EDIFIER W600BT Hands-Free)’ under ‘Audio inputs and outputs’.

6. Once done, restart your laptop.

Thanks for report. Sounds like the Edifier driver really isn't needed with the latest Windows updates..

Just in addition and some more advice on the Nitro 5 laptops and their Bluetooth drivers especially, I don't know what exact Nitro 5 laptop model you and you are referring the above to, as I'm talking about my Nitro 5 model AN515-56 and its Bluetooth the Killer AX1650i Wi-Fi/BT card that my JBL LIVE650BTNC headphone is connected to this card and its always been very problematic with its Bluetooth new updated Intel drivers for Win-11 as they don't work, and only works with the Intel driver that Acer oem provides the version 22.40.0.2 that works perfectly and 100% for great distances and every wall and glass partition for this card on my laptop, while at the same time the Wi-Fi Intel driver for this card works with the latest Win-11 and every updated and last driver update the version 22.190.0.4. Maybe you should try the Acer only provided driver for your Nitro 5 laptop as it should work 100%.
