Windows 10: Digital media device

I have just purchased a pair of KEF LS50W wireless speakers. I have successfully connected them to my home WiFi network, and can use the KEF Stream app to access and play music files on my desktop PC.


But what I cannot do is connect to the speakers from my PC. They are installed as "digital media devices" but do not show as playback audio devices.


How do I get Windows to play audio on these "digital media devices?"

:)

 

Digital Media device listed as Digital Audio device in Printer and Devices

My Window 7 worked perfect when connected to my Vizio Di500 Smart TV. So I purchased a Toshiba C55D - Windows 10 laptop expecting same results. Don’t know what I was thinking but connecting a laptop to a television using an
HDMI cable should not be that difficult.

When I turn the TV on, the display is HUGE and it is set to the highest (1920 x 1080 and 1366 x 768). In th eprinter and device settings - properties list the Samsung as Digital Media Device but the Vizio is listed as Digital
Audio Device. How to I change it to Media? What do I need to do for the display to be normal?

I went to Media Streaming Options, I see the Samsung TV listed but not the Vizio. I checked local network and all networks, still not Vizio.

Please help.

Here is a screen by screen view of the setup of Windows Media Center. It was based on the WinTV-HVR-1600, but the setup with other WinTV-HVR products will be similar."

Follow the guide stage by stage

let the TPU community know at what "step" Media Center gets stuck at Example: step 1, step 2

nb: It may be to do with your zip code and or post code not being entered

In regard to your DVD Rom drive - go to -control panel/device manager/DVD/CD-ROM drives -make a note of the make and model number Example: Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-215D ATA Device - highlight the device you have installed -press right mouse button-select properties-details-property and select Install Date from the drop down list and let us know this.

Media Cloud on Intranet

Killer_Rubber_Ducky,
Just to recap after talking with you....
The school is a private school funded 100% by donations so money is tight (isn't it with everyone?) which is why you are looking for a solutions (or combination) to build this...

Existing hardware includes:

• 10gbps fiber network backbone to all buildings
• 20 buildings in plan for media distribution (equal to 20 managed switches)
• 100 mbps inside all buildings from 1gbps fiber ports through managed switches
• 15 Servers - Windows, VmWare, & Linux (Linux for web servers, LDAP, Radius, and Wireless Controller). Linux builds installed on virtual machines with vmware ESXi.

Media to be distributed:

• Existing media converted to digital (CDs, DVDs, VHS, etc....)
• Any new digital media purchased (or licensed) by the school
• Pictures
• Documents (viewing only)
• Streaming (Netflix, Pandora, etc....) NOTE: Access to this needs to be controlled on a user basis. Students should not have free access at all times...

Design intent:

• Client Side Experience:
  • Controller (perhaps touch screen device) provides access to the media and controls what is played and where it is played (locally on the controller as a preview or on the Monitor).
  • Monitor - (LCD TV / or other connected via IP on network or to controller?)
  • User Authentication required (to access the media library) looking to Active Directory (LDAP) for permissions.
• Server Side Experience:
  • Manage All Client Devices (Add, Remove, Schedule, IP Assignments, etc...)
  • Client Statistics (see history, current, and other statistical data)
  • Media Management (Add, Delete, Approve, other)
  • User Accounts (This is for the management of this media system only. Access is controlled by Active Directory permissions and provided through LDAP).

Your mention of the "cloud" only implies the physical concept for the media server using vmware (or other virtualization app) to host a Server image and manage data thru-put. Right? Since the school is exploring a purchase of a new server loaded with RAM - This may be a good idea...Any throughts from anyone else?

Did I leave anything out?
