    Audio Bluetooth Device connecting as 'Other Device'


    Hi,

    I've just bought a pair of Cambridge Audio Melomania Wiress Headphones.

    I'm trying to connect them via Bluetooth to my Windows Surface 4.

    The headphones are connecting but as an 'Other Device' so I'm not able to use them as an audio device.


    How can I change this so they are recognised as an audio device.


    Thanks,

    SG

    :)

    Audio on connected Bluetooth devices


    I'm having a weird problem that I can't figure out and it's driving me nuts.

    All that I'm attempting to do is to listen to the podcasts that I have on my Android smart phone through the speakers on my computer via Bluetooth. This worked in Win 8, but since upgrading to 10 I'm encountering a problem.

    The computer will pair with the phone with no issues. It will also connect with the device via Bluetooth, no issues there either. But I can't make it pull the audio from the phone. When connected, the audio still plays through the phone, and not the computer.

    I've poked around audio settings, and can't find anything. I installed drivers specific to the phone, that did not work. I also went to Dell's site and installed Bluetooth drivers that are specific to my computer. No change.

    Any suggestions?

  3. Bluetooth device connected but not recognised as audio device W10

    I recently purchased some bluetooth headphones (GLITOBT18). I managed to connect them to my laptop running windows 10.

    However, i cant find the device in the playback settings and i therefore cant play audio through the headphones.

    I think this may have something to do with the fact that windows is recognising it as a bluetooth headset rather than a speaker? Any help would be massively appreciated!
