    Bluetooth speaker paired but not listed as an audio device


    Hi there, seeking assistance here. Suddenly my bluetooth speaker was not listed as an audio device in "Bluetooth & other devices" panel. It was working fine previously as audio playback for my windows 10 desktop. I have tried to reinstall the bluetooth drivers, unpair device and reconnect, on and off bluetooth but it is still not working. Anyone experienced the same thing and any idea how to solve this? Thank you.

    :)

    Bluetooth Paired but not listed on Select playback device..

    Do they work if you connect them through BT with your cellphone or tablet? Google is your friend. Try the following. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...&v4h=winxptab1 Uninstall the driver that you installed. Windows 10 should load the correct driver when you plug the dongle into the computer. Check if the following settings for the Bluetooth speaker is enabled by default. If not, let’s enable it and check if it solves the issue.

    You can follow the steps to enable the Bluetooth audio service:

    a) Press Windows key + X key together and select Control Panel from the list.

    b) Click on Hardware and Sound and select Devices and Printers.

    c) In Devices and Printers, locate Bluetooth speaker device and Right Click on the device.

    d) Click on Properties and navigate to Services tab.

    e) Select “Audio Sink”, "Hands free Telephony" and "Remote Control".

    f) Click on Apply.

    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".

    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 Bluetooth speaker paired but not listed as an audio device :(

    Any further ideas I could try?
