  1. Windows 10 2004 A2DP Sink issues


    I was looking ahead for the return of the A2DP Sink functionality in Windows 10 2004, using Bluetooth Audio Receiver.

    When using it with my Huawei Honor 10, the sound keeps popping and cracking.

    Is it coming from my phone, the app, the Windows drivers, my PC hardware (Strix Z370-E, i5-8600K), or interferences ?

    My drivers are up to date.

    Sorry for my bad english Windows 10 2004 A2DP Sink issues :), and it's my first post on Reddit so...

    Is there any way to make Windows 10 act as a A2DP sink?

    It seems like Microsoft has disabled A2DP sink capabilities since Window 8,
    or it just doesn't work anymore.

    You could try to download and update the audio driver with software supplied
    by the manufacturer of your Bluetooth card/chip.

    If that doesn't help, you could replace the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack with a
    third-party product, such as :


    [EDIT]

    To summarize our discussion below:

    • The Broadcom drivers have the A2DP sink but suffer from a serious memory leak (which has been the case for the last decade), while
    • Microsoft's A2DP sink capabilities are not functional.

    So the only options I can think of are:

    1. Try BlueSoleil and buy if it fixes the problem and the free version is too restrictive.
    2. Disable/enable your network adapter whenever a slow-down occurs, in the hope
      that this will reinitialize the memory.
      This can be done via a script run as admin:

      netsh interface set interface "network adapter name" admin=disable

      netsh interface set interface "network adapter name" admin=enable
    3. Replace your network adapter with a non-Broadcom card.

    Sure, not for everybody, but usable:

    1. Use Linux in VirtualBox and capture bluetooth device. I have Kubuntu 16.04 as a guest on Win 10 and Intel BT and this setup works. (Or use old Win 7 as guest. It had this A2DP sink feature. But not tested by me. I used Kubuntu, because I use it at work on Win host.) It worked "automagically" after pairing in "System settings - Bluetooth".

  4. Windows 10 2004 A2DP Sink issues

    Is there any way to make Windows 10 act as a A2DP sink?

    Windows 10 has a Bluetooth Stack included and recognizes most Bluetooth Sticks without any problems. However, while Windows does support A2DP, it does not act as a sink and therefore, you cannot e.g. stream Audio from Android to the Computer, which is what I want.

    The manufacturer of my BT Stick does not provide any Windows 10 Drivers, since Microsoft does this. I tried the older software, which can act as A2DP sink, but it has a memory leak that crashes my PC after longer sessions of listening to music, which is basically every day (I listen to music while programming/working). (Basically I can watch the non-pooled Kernel memory go up by the second when listening to music and can make it stop by stopping the music)

    So my question is, is there any alternative, universal driver I can use that can act as said sink to receive Audio from my Phone on my PC?
