Windows 10: Bluetooth headphones and stereo mix

Can't get it to work no matter what I try. Stereo mix is enabled as the default device, listen to this device is turned on and the bluetooth headphones are picked. No sound is being picked up. Stereo mix works perfectly for wired headphones.

Stereo Mix/Bluetooth Output

I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to sound devices on Windows.
Basically, I'm trying to play music via Spotify and play Visuals via Plane9 or Winamp. My understanding is I have to use Line input using stereo mix, however no recording is happening on stereo mix. My output is to a set of bluetooth speakers.
How do I achieve what I'm trying to achieve? TIA

Stereo mix showing but not showing audio

A potential solution for those who use digital outputs to a separate sound system for your sounds (rather than speakers or headphones), and have tried all the normal suggestions when Stereo Mix shows up on the recording tab, but shows no audio, and programs
such as Audacity won't record a signal.

I use digital optical out from my sound card (Realtek High Definition Audio) to my sound system. There are therefore no speakers connected, and no speakers show in the sound settings. And no audio showing in Stereo Mix.

However, connecting headphones instantly solves the problem - stereo mix shows audio, programs like Audacity can record again (plugging headphones in the headphones jack makes no difference to the digital optical output signal = does not mute it).

I would be really interested to know why Stereo Mix will not show audio if there are no speakers or headphones connected.
