I've got the headphones paired via Bluetooth but when clicking on the sound icon in systray there's no option to quick switch.
To get audio through the headset I have to go to Devices and Printers, right-click the headset icon, select Control, then I get the following window:
I then have to choose Connect.
Only then does the option to switch audio appear in the sound pop-up
I'm not sure what is required to get the headphones detected automatically - is it a limitation of the headset or my Bluetooth dongle?
