I purchased my Nothing Ear A about a week ago. Unfortunately, I cannot use it with my main laptop because of a strange issue. The computer connects to the earbuds, but does not treat them as an audio output device. The pause and play controls on the stem even work, but just no sound.
When disconnected from computer, as usual, this is what it shows:
However, it completely dissapears as a audio output device when connected:
Note: Although I am able to get them to be reconized as a audio device after uninstalling the device from my system, the issue persists once my computer restarts.
Also, this seems to be only affecting the main computer I use. The earbuds work when connected to my other devices or windows computers. I hope this gets resolved quickly as I really wanted to use them as my main pair of earbuds.
