Better bluetooth drivers for Bootcamp Win10?

Ok, this got me quite angry. Recently I bought bluetooth headphones Sony for my computer. They work quite well on latest MacOS with my 2015 MacBook Pro. However when I switch to bootcamp with Win 10 the experience turn to be really bad. Im using Win 10 mostly to play games with my PS4 controller and because I want to be sitting further from the computer I bought also wireless headphones. However it seems that bootcamp Windows 10 can handle only one BT device properly. If I have both my headphones and gamepad connected, the sound coming from my headphones is supper laggy and utterly horrible. While I do the same on my macOS - using PS4 gamepad and headphones at the same time, both work perfectly without any problem. So it is obviously software problem since both are using the same hardware. Is there some solution to this? Or some patch is coming? Or something? Because I dont believe the bluetooth hardware in MBP can't handle two BT devices connected at the same time.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), iOS 10.2.1, Win 10 on Bootcamp

Hmm, I tried both but didn't help either. Thanks anyway but this seems to be solely problem of BT drivers for Windows. For example I saw many reports about headphones not working properly when the BT Device Manager is open. And I have the same problem. When the manager is running the sound coming from my headphones is lagging. When I close it, the problem stops. This is not only my experience but experience of all users using Windows on bootcamp, And I don't experience the same problem on MacOS, which can handle more than one BT device at the same time, so this must be purely software thing on Windows.

Hi MirekDusinojc!

Did you fix it ? Does it works now ?

I got the Same Problem.


I have the Plantronics BackBeat Pro Headset and I play to Battlefield 1 on Bootcamp with win 10 x64.


When I use the cable, the sound is very good and clear but the microphon doesnt work because the Bluetooth is disable when I Plug with the cable.

People can't hear me fine when I speak because it use the apple imac microphone and they hear all noise near me, especialy the frogs at night... (I'm in the Caribbean, its noisy at night).


So I tried to use my Headset with bluetooth, as you say The sound is crunchy sometime, the mic and sound work when I speak and people hear me fine but in game I got lag and very bad quality sound...


Its fustrating that broadcom doesnt want to release bette driver for bootcamp..


I hope you find solution !


PS: Sorry for my bad english
