EDIT: (TL;DR at the bottom)
I have a pair of Jaybird Tarah bluetooth wireless earbuds that I have paired to my Windows PC. These buds also have media buttons and a microphone. They are called "Overture"
For clarity, My particular machine is running Win10 Pro (1909) through Boot Camp. Bluetooth drivers seem to work just fine. The same pair of buds are recognized as audio output--specifically, the buds cause the following to be installed:
Under the "Devices and Printer" dialogue for the device, I can see all bluetooth profiles supported by my headphones to match what I would expect--audio output, media control, hands-free control, etc...
HOWEVER! I could not, for the life of me, use my wireless headphones to get microphone input. I have been able to on other machines, without fail, and without extra setup.
Upon further investigation, I discovered that the device is indeed installed, but with a different driver. From what all other attempts to pair (on other machines) has yielded, my buds should invoke the following devices to be installed:
My earbuds are instead installed as Overture Hands-Free AG as Microsoft Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile AudioGateway role under "System devices"
Interesting! This has eluded me for months, and I unfortunately cannot make Windows install the device as an audio device, not as an audio service. I have tried all the basics at this point--reinstalling the bluetooth stack, resetting my earbuds, re-pairing to my laptop, restarting relevant services...
The device in question has the following Hardware Ids:
What intrigues me is that according to Service Discovery | Bluetooth® Technology Website the UUID 0x111E identifies both the Service Class and the Bluetooth Profile! And yet, I have not found a way to invoke this service, through a call or otherwise.
Therefore, my conclusion is that I must somehow convince Windows to install the device in accordance to the profile, and not the service. How can I possibly go about this, or alternatively how can I force the right drivers to be installed? As an alternative to that, where can I find resources to help me write an alias driver to target my device specifically and install the correct drivers?
TL;DR My wireless earbuds are installing as the wrong device type and with the incorrect drivers. I can't force the right drivers to install.

- Overture Stereo as Microsoft Bluetooth A2dp source under "Sound, video and game controllers"
- Headphones (Overture Stereo) as Audio Endpoint (only during connection) under "Audio inputs and outputs"
- Overture as Bluetooth Device and
- Overture Avrcp Transport as Microsoft Bluetooth Avrcp Transport Driver (both under "Bluetooth")
