Windows 10: can't use my pc as a speaker

I've been using an app called "bluetooth audio receiver" to allow my phone and taplet to share sound to my pc via bluetooth.I had to stop using it for i while and when i started using it again it doesn't work. apparently, the app doesn't share the sound anymore even tho I am connected to it. what made me think that is even tho I am playing audio on my other device I can't find the app in the volume mixer at all. i tried another app called "bluzic" which used to work for me as well, but doesn't work anymore.

Windows 10 recognizes my UE Megaboom as a headset and not a speaker will not work?

Hi Rachael,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I suggest you try the steps listed below and check if it works. This issue could be because of the Headphones BT SPEAKER Stereo being set as default. I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Pair the speaker with your PC.
  
• Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose
  Device Manager.
  
• Expand Sound, video, and game controllers
  and right click on your Bluetooth speaker (BT SPEAKER Stereo).
  
• Choose Disable and acknowledge the confirmation popup. Wait for the screen to refresh.
  
• Right click on the same device again and Enable.
  
• Exit Device Manager and see if the issue persist.
  

Regards,
