Windows 10: After Windows Update: Bluetooth Speakers No Longer Outputting Sound or Showing Up in...

After updating my computer today, which has been on Windows 11 for months without issues, my Megaboom 3 Bluetooth speakers are no longer outputting sound while connected to my computer. The speaker device is showing up in Bluetooth & devices as connected, but not showing up under Settings - Sound - Playback.I've uninstalled the Bluetooth speaker drivers and then paired the speakers again resulting in the same issue.

Can't select paired bluetooth speaker as sound output (Windows 10)

I just got a new bluetooth speaker, an Urbanears Stammen (concrete grey)

I can connect to it from my phone, using Bluetooth, and play back sound no problem. But I can't get my Windows 10 laptop (Dell XPS 15) to use it as a playback device.

I can connect and pair to it no problem, as you see in the screenshot below





It also shows up under bluetooth in the device manager. It's not listed under "Audio inputs and outputs", which I thought it should be, but I can see it under "Sound, video and game controllers".





But I can't select it as a playback device





I found this relevant superuser question: Windows 10 computer paired w/ bluetooth speaker, but doesn't send music to speaker

And I tried the suggested steps listed there, but nothing helped

Any further ideas I could try?

 

Bluetooth Speaker connected but not listed as Sound Output Device

Hi,

So as the title suggests I have a Gravastar Mars Pro speaker which I want to use with my Windows 11 Pc. The speakers had originally worked for me on Windows 10, However, since updating to Windows 11, whenever I go to use them they do not appear as a sound output device, even when they are connected to Bluetooth.

I have tried:

- Using the Gravastar speaker on my iPhone and Macbook Pro, which works just fine

- Other Bluetooth speakers (Oontz Angle 3 DS98) and they connect and play sound just fine.

- Updating my Bluetooth & Audio drivers.

- Using the "playing audio" Troubleshooter and selecting the Gravastar speaker, in which it states " This device does not appear to be plugged in"

- Using the "Bluetooth" Troubleshooter which lists "Check Bluetooth Radio Status - Fixed" every time I run this.

- Selecting the "More Sound Settings" which I can see the speaker listed, however, it appears as "disconnected" and selecting "connect" does nothing.

I currently have Bluetooth through my motherboard (B660 Aorus Master (Rev. 1. x)).

I'm not sure what to even try anymore and am getting very close to wiping the entire computer and seeing if that will solve the issue.

Thank you

 

Internal speakers and headphones no longer working after Windows 10 update

I'm running Windows 10 Home, version 1709, build 16299.125. I tried the steps suggested on that page, but the sound card no longer appears in the device manager at all that I can see. And on the sound control panel, the internal speakers and headphone jack
no longer appear either. There is no default device there that I can modify; it only shows Bluetooth options.
