Windows 10: speaker keeps pairing as an unspecified device

Oh my god ive been doing this for like 2 hours please help me. I've updated the driver and went to like every place were you can pick an output. The speaker just doesn't show up. Has anyone else had this problem before??

edit: Just wanted to add that I've used this speaker with my phone before so I know its not a problem with that and is a windows 10 issue.

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".





But I can't select it as a playback device





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

Any further ideas I could try?

 

Bluetooth speaker (Ion Tailgater Flash) is not pairing with my windows 10 desktop.

Hi Brandon,

Allow us to clarify some information regarding the current issue with your Bluetooth speaker.

• Which device is not showing up when you're trying to pair?
  
• Have you tried to pair your Bluetooth speaker with other Bluetooth devices?
• How about your desktop? Have you tried pairing it with another device? Did it connect?
  

If you have tried pairing your Bluetooth speaker with other devices, but it still doesn't show up, then we suggest that you get in touch with its manufacturer and have it checked as there could be something wrong with its Bluetooth connection.

Looking forward to your reply.

Regards.

 

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,
