Windows 10: Call audio from phone link or direct bluetooth call connection will only play over speakers...

When I receive a call on my cell phone, I would like to be able to answer it on my computer so I can use my USB headset. With either the Phone Link app or answering the call directly over Bluetooth, audio will only play through my speakers. To be clear, I don't mean I can't hear anything with the headset selected as the output device. I mean it still plays through the speakers, ignoring my selection. The headset is set as the default communications output in the sound control panel. The headset mic works without issue.I managed to get it to work once, but I'm not sure how and I haven't been ab

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?

 

How to play audio/music through speakers AND bluetooth speakers


I have a pair of Creative T40 speakers plugged into the 3.5mm jack on my laptop. I got hold of a bluetooth speaker and that was recognised straight-away.

I have installed a large monitor (32inch) to the laptop on which I work as well as watch movies and play games. I was wondering if I could setup that audio, be it music, gaming audio or movie audio could be played through BOTH sets of speakers.

The main T40's are on either side of the monitor and I have the bluetooth speaker behind me on a shelf. That would, kind-of, give me surround sound. Or when I have people over I could get better sound if I could just move the bluetooth speaker to a different part of the room.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you.

 

Zoom Audio not playing when connected to bluetooth transmitter

Hello, I hope you are doing well! This is my current situation:

I want to play Zoom calls audio on my meeting room speakers. The speakers are too far to connect via cable.

I have an Airfly pro, which is a bluetooth transmitter, I currently use it for my car media player since it does not have bluetooth. I simply plug it in the 3.5mm aux jack and connect my phone to the Airfly Pro via bluetooth to play audio on the car's speakers.

Now for my Zoom setup, I thought of connecting the Airfly Pro to the meeting room speakers, and simply connecting my laptop to the Airfly Pro by bluetooth, similarly to my car setup.

Calls audio (Communication) do not play on the bluetooth transmitter, I have set the device as default in Zoom, but there is simply no audio output.

Checking my playback devices, I noticed that the Airfly Pro only has the "Stereo" option, and does not have a Hands-Free option.

I was thinking if I could select computer speakers by default to play Zoom calls audio, then reroute the audio using a software to the Airfly pro?
