Plantronics Voyager Focus UC headset has trouble communicating with GPMDP #2629

Closed henryb94 closed 7 years ago

henryb94 commented 7 years ago

OS: Windows 7 64-bit

Issue Descriptions: Using the Plantronics Voyager Focus UC headset with my phone or Spotify over bluetooth, the music pauses automatically when I remove the headset and plays again when I put it back on. Neither this feature nor the play/pause, skip forward, and skip backward buttons on the headset communicate with GPMDP.

I tried running LLKeyboardTest, and saw no keypresses detected with any buttons or with removal of/putting on the headset.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

  1. Open GPMDP
  2. Play music
  3. Remove headset
  4. Music doesn't pause

Thanks, HB

Hi KC, I am connected through a USB dongle, which shows up as a USB audio device independent from Realtek HD Audio in devmgmt, and Windows correctly identifies the playback device as "Headset Earphone, Plantronics BT600." I tried pairing through Bluetooth directly to the computer with no more success. Unfortunately, I can't upgrade to Windows 10 as this is a work computer.

If no keypresses are being sent through then I have no idea how the headset would be sending a pause command (especially on windows 7).

It has probably been specifically implemented like logitech keyboards to recognize certain media players and only send keypresses / events when they are active. GPMDP is probably not on that list. (This is just a guess).

There isn't anything really we can do about this if the headset doesn't emit any events 😢
