Syncing Windows 10 with an iHome speaker

Hi BillPainter3,

I'm an Independent Advisor and consumer of Microsoft products just like you. Let me help you with your concern.

Turn on bluetooth of your laptop

Select Start > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices, and turn on Bluetooth

To pair an iHome speaker

1. Press the "Pairing" button on your iHome until both the Bluetooth and Pairing icons begin to flash. Consult the user manual for your specific iHome model for the location of the Pairing button and these icons.

2. On your PC, select Start > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices > Add Bluetooth or other device > Bluetooth. Select the device and follow additional instructions if they appear, then select Done.

Windows 10 computer paired w/ bluetooth speaker, but doesn't send music to speaker

A possible solution to Bluetooth speaker playback issue I tried all the steps listed in several posting forums with no success. I finally found a solution after 3 hours of investigating. 1st several forums suggest updating drivers... but do not specify which drivers to update i.e. the Bluetooth device? (eg. bose audio, sony driver for sony Bluetooth headphones etc.), or the windows driver?

*** For me the solution was updating the Bluetooth driver from LENOVO's website (the laptop/computer manufacture's website) once the driver was installed the bluetooth playback through BOSE Bluetooth audio adaptor worked perfectly.

I understand not everyone will have a LENOVO laptop/computer however I think it is worth downloading the latest Bluetooth driver from the device you are streaming from.

Hope this helps!
