Windows 10: AG Audio/Bluetooth not working on windows 10 Sony XM5s & Lenovo Thinkpad

Hello,From the start it was complicated getting these to go, I had to disable 'WH-1000XM5 Stereo' and 'Realtek Speakers' and leave 'WH-1000XM5 AG Audio' enabled for input and output, this worked for several months taking calls for work via Amazon web services in a browser and Teams App. I've been experiencing an issue with my Lenovo Thinkpad laptop not playing audio Not even the test sounds when using AG Audio, I've done a large range of Troubleshooting and cannot get AG audio to work as an output like it has for the past several months. The Input still works but ALL sound mutes as soon as

Cannot Find my Sony XM5 Headphones on my Bluetooth

I recently got a new pair of Sony XM5 Bluetooth headphones, and tried to pair them to my windows 10 pc, and they wouldn't show up under any category. My PC doesn't come automatically with Bluetooth, so I'm using a Bluetooth adapter, but that shouldn't make a difference. Every other pair of Bluetooth headphones have paired easily, but the XM5 wont show up at all. I've troubleshooted and got no where. I made sure that both devices were discoverable. What else could I do to see if they'll show up?

 

Windows 10 computer paired w/ bluetooth speaker, but doesn't send music to speaker

A possible solution to Bluetooth speaker playback issue I tried all the steps listed in several posting forums with no success. I finally found a solution after 3 hours of investigating. 1st several forums suggest updating drivers... but do not specify which drivers to update i.e. the Bluetooth device? (eg. bose audio, sony driver for sony Bluetooth headphones etc.), or the windows driver?

*** For me the solution was updating the Bluetooth driver from LENOVO's website (the laptop/computer manufacture's website) once the driver was installed the bluetooth playback through BOSE Bluetooth audio adaptor worked perfectly.

I understand not everyone will have a LENOVO laptop/computer however I think it is worth downloading the latest Bluetooth driver from the device you are streaming from.

Hope this helps!
