It's pretty ironic to have problems with audio not recognizing headphones... on WINDOWS.
Multi-trillion (10^12) dollar company, btw.
(Both laptops are reasonably new.)
I run Ubuntu on a laptop that isn't officially supported by Ubuntu (Thinkbook 16 G7) and it works better than W11
The entire volume control and Bluetooth connection management in Windows is an insane pile of garbage that seems deliberately hard to navigate and frequently doesn't work for no apparent reason. Which is wild because they could have just not changed it at all since it used to be fine.
f you have wired or properly standards compliant bluetooth headphones it works fine on both.
If you have (cheapo) non-compliant stuff it's a crapshoot on both, but there's more likely some drivers to make up the difference on windows, whereas on linux you're deep diving obscure crap, it can be done, but is it really worth the effort?
If it's musical instruments, especially midi, you're often better off on linux these days, but you might have to pay for a DAW and some commercial plugins are hit or miss.
This is also my experience with the xbox wireless adapter.
Xow third party drivers tell you exactly what is happening or not happening.
Windows help page: whatever the issue, reinstall the drivers and hope that fixed it after a restart. Not a single way to diagnose.
Windows keep re-enabling my second monitor after I disabled it, I had to disconnect video cable but in Linux it work just fine (dual boot)
