Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Exact Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024). No reset, saved-list deletion or borrowed generation gesture. Two already-connected sources; adding/re-pairing a source belongs to the pairing flow.
Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: Switching between devices isn’t working.
This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.
If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
Checks and possible outcomes
Start at connected. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.
connected
Are both intended sources already connected?
Confirm two active connections and MultiPoint in the Bose QCE app; a saved source alone is not an active connection.
Look for: Choose only what you can confirm.
- If Yes, confirmed → Are both sources free of an active call?
- If No → Continue with model-specific support
- If I do not know / cannot check → Confirm the missing detail first
