Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Exact Sony WH-1000XM6 over Bluetooth. Exactly two sources have already been paired. This is the Classic two-device mode, not Google account audio switch or a third-source replacement. Confirm the first source has an active headphone connection; a saved pairing record alone is insufficient. No wired-audio procedure, factory reset or pairing-list clear is included.
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.
