• macOS Monterey vs bluetooth

    From Brian Gordon@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 28 01:55:03 2021
    I've used a wireless (Bluetooth) headset with my Mac book Pro for quite a while. Now suddenly, with Monterey 12.0.1, thev startup message from the headset goes like this.

    "BPwireless ready to pair"
    "BPWireless connected sussessfully" as it connects to the Mac
    "BPWireless connected sussessfully" as it connects to my iPhone
    "Disconnected" very quickly as it disconnects from the Mac
    It seems to stay connected to the iPhone but I'm not positive.

    I suspect some sort of version or protocol mismatch, but don't know what to check or what can be changed. Help?

    Are the headphones capable of connecting to multiple devices? Only some
    can, and usually there's some way to choose which is being used. If
    not, then you'll obviously have to manually un-pair them from whichever
    device you aren't currently using them with.

    Brand and model may be helpful.

    Is it supposed to be pairing to both the Mac and the Phone?

    Yes, it has always paired with both. When the phone rang, it was easy to switch focus so you could answer it.
