ThinkPad T440 - Bluetooth headphones do not work

I have a ThinkPad T440.
It has Windows 7.
Issue: The ThinkPad T440 recognizes the headphones when i turn the headphones on. But the ThinkPad T440 does NOT pair with the headphones.
I have downloaded the latest drivers but the issue still persists.
The issue i'm having is NOT specific to the type of bluetooth headphones i'm using because the issue happens with any type of bluetooth headphone i'm using.
The headphones do work because i can pair the headphones to my iphone 5 and i can listen to music/videos on my iphone with the headphones.
Previously i had a ThinkPad T430 and the headphones worked fine.
Also, i do have a mouse that is bluetooth and the mouse works fine with the ThinPad T440.
My bluetooth radio is turned on.
In Device Manager, under Bluetooth Radios, it displays Generic Bluetooth Adapter and Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator. Both of these have the latest drivers installed.
Does anybody have a solution to this issue?

Another forum enlightened me to the fact that T440s using Intel Bluetooth chips. This was the key to finding the secret sauce to get my Plantronics Voyager headset to work with a Lenovo T440.
The magic occurs when you head over to Intel's site and install the latest "Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software for Bluetooth® technology" for your platform:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&keyword=bluetooth
In my case, it was:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=24679&lang=eng
I'd then reboot as a safety measure. After installing it, there are no additional Start Menu items, but once you Add a Device from the Bluetooth Devices screen, all the appropriate device drivers for telephony and headset are automatically found.

Does the bluetooth headphone feature not work at this time?

I have tried 2 different bluetooth headphones. They work with iPhone and iPod, but not the PowerBook.
My PowerBook recognizes and pairs with the headphones, but won't connect. Am I missing a step?

Hello -
I had a set of bluetooth headphones - a while back. And I was able to make them work. Though, they aren't as great as you might think. My audio quality was "okay" at best. And you can also only have one bluetooth device hooked up at a time (I prefer to have a mouse!)
You may need to go into the System Prefs and set where the audio output is going to. I do not remember if I had to this but it seems a logical step as I sometimes need to this on my PowerBook when I hookup to new speakers.

One headphone does not work or works 50% of the time. What is best way to resolve?

one headphone does not work or works 50% of the time. What is best way to resolve?

First of all, I'd recomend resetting the iPod. Do this by pressing the 'Menu' and 'Center" buttons for 10 seconds or until the Apple logo appears.
If this doesn't work, then it sounds like a hardware fault.
To identify the issue, if you have one, try plugging the iPod into a speaker through the dock. If this works, then the issue is with the headphone jack. If not then the logic board is dead. If the iPod is less than a year old, then it can be repaired by Apple for free. Just book an appointment for the Genius bar.
If not then, you could see about sending it to an iPod Repair Company, such as my own. A replacement headphone jack would cost £30.00 in the UK, including next day delivery. Other companies you could try would beUKiPodRepairs, but we guarantee to beat any quote that you get.
Hope that this helps,

Internal speakers and headphones are not working

I have hp g6 2231tx os Windows 8, brought it a month ago..now it's internal speakers and headphones are not working..I enabled in playback device from sound mixer and reinstalled drivers but still not working..it's because of hardware or software??

Hi,
It could be either Hardware or Software related, so try the following and let me know.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp58501-59000/sp58517.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

When I navigate web with Firefox my Thinkpad trackpoint center button is not working. With other web browsers it works well. Where is the problem in firefox, how to enable TrackPoint center button?

I have exactly the same settings in Options (in both computers)
for history, these 2 add-ons and all other stuff in Options. The only difference is that on 1 pc sessions can be saved and closed tabs can be reopened, on other main pc they stopped to work. + no any other add-on that does similar things works on this pc.
It is also interesting that I can reopen closed visited sites from History Panel, but not by pressing the Button. For now I only manually bookmark links to a temporary folder.
Recently (some 2 month ago) I pressed x and Firefox closed all tabs without saving them without displaying save & quit pop up.
so I changed 4 settings in about.config
browser.tabs.warn on close true
browser.warn on quit true
browser.warn on restart true
browser.show.quit warning true
but the problem with sessions appeared only 1 week ago.
So I guess the problem is not with the History settings or other settings. Seems that something responsible for button or for storing info about tabs/sessions got corrupted. :(

I recently installed vista to my mac (32bit)...my headphones are not working. I can't find the 3.5mm jack that apple suggests using. I have tried installing/unistalling several different audio drivers. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I recently installed vista to my mac (32bit). My headphones are not working on it. I could not find the "3.5mm jack" that apple suggests to "solve" this issue. And I have tried installing/uninstalling audio drivers. Can anyone help?

you don't need several drivers, you just need the audio driver for your Mac, which you didn't list, but would be Cirrus or RealTek.
Along with uninstalling programs, go to Dev Manager and uninstall driver, or even rollback driver.
some people have trouble installing or finding driver that will install.

Do you still have your windows7 install files ?

My headphone is not working on macbook air 11

I have a macbook air 11", and after upgrading to mountain lion, my headphones are not working.
I have tried with multiple headphones and multiple software (itunes, skype, etc.), and I can´t hear.

First, turn the volume up.
Just kidding.
Do the internal speakers work?
Check Audio MIDI Setup (Applications -> Utilities).
If all looks good but still no sound, ask yourself - and check - if any 3rd-party apps or drivers are installed and running (-> Login Items?) that deal with sound. Update to ML-compatible versions or completely remove them.

Audio Service
Multimedia Class Scheduler

Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
If you need to make a change to any of the above, just right click the service and select Properties, then in the dropdown box next to 'Start-up type', select Automatic and click Apply to save the change. Then click the Start button.

Hey there. You didnt state what operating system you are using but I was able to find two articles that should help resolve your issue.
Troubleshooting Your Wireless Network and Internet Connection (Windows 7)
Fixing Bluetooth Issues
These articles will go through all the basic troubleshooting steps. Let me know if this helps resolve the issue at all.
Thanks!

HEADPHONES do not work when plugged in - iMac Intel

So I reinstalled the operating system a few months back. After completing this my headphones do not work when plugged in. I do have them plugged into the correct jack. When i plug them in the built-in speakers go silent for a second or two as if the headphones are working but then the speakers kick back in with no sound in the headphones.
The headphones worked just prior to reinstall so I'm not sure its the jack itself but something in the operating system.
I have also checked in System Preferences 'Sound' and when they are plugged in, they do not show in the devices window.
What the heck is going on? I've read in other forums that this seems to be something of a typical problem but have not found a solution to the problem.
thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to the discussions.
Mate, it sounds more like a system glitch than a hardware issue. I too have been experiences some 'funky' issues. However, they have all been fixed by running Onyx disc maintenance software. Install Onyx and run 'automation'. You can cancel the disc checking operations on start up and ignore the back up disclaimer. Give it a go and post back with the results.

Make sure you get the right version for your OS.
