I tried connecting my Sony MDR 1000x headphones to my computer via bluetooth, but they never show up as a pairable device. My computer is a self-built desktop, i7-7700k with an ASUS Z270-e motherboard. Other bluetooth devices don't have any issue connecting to the computer, currently using a Logitech K520 keyboard w/ M510 mouse duo, connected with the unifying receiver in one of the USB inputs on the front of my Corsair 760T Graphite case.
When I turn on my MDR 1000x headphones, they connect with my phone just fine. When I hold down the power button the full 7 seconds needed to pair further bluetooth devices, for some reason they're never able to find the computer or vice versa. The computer's primary audio output is via Realtek digital audio out to a Samsung soundbar/subwoofer combo. The only way that I can even get audio to feed through the headphones from the computer is with a 3.5mm aux cord, and even then, the headset microphone portion won't work. I've been doing troubleshooting here and there, but still, I can't get it to work.
