Question

Bluetooth connection

Sep 26, 2015 2:12PM PDT

I have two devices that are paired with my computer and yet when I play music on one of the devices, I don't hear the music coming from the computer. Why? I have a Lenovo G50-80 Laptop.

So far, there is no support for a BT device to use Windows as an audio receiver.

So, bluetooth ended with 8.1 as an audio receiver...

There are prior discussions about folk that want their PC to act like a Bluetooth Speaker. As there are priors I keep this short.

Maybe someone has written an app to let a PC be a BT Speaker?
