Windows 10: 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?

The suggestion does not fix the issue. When you troubleshoot the audio connection to the Bluetooth audio device, in my case a Bose Bluetooth speaker, it asks you to connect it with a cable. When I go to the Bluetooth control settings, I can see the device,
and even pair the device...but audio does not go to the speaker via Bluetooth.

The only bluetooth profiles that are native on the phone are audio profiles, which means you can connect the phone to audio headsets (and other audio devices) and listen to music, etc., but you cannot transfer files between bluetooth connected devices
and you can't use bluetooth peripherals such as a bluetooth printer or bluetooth keyboard

ALso check your bluetooth is not set to hidden
