Windows 10: Why is the audio streaming over Bluetooth not working in Windows 11 after 22H2 update?

I have a Lenovo Ideapad gaming 3 with preinstalled Windows 11. I used to frequently connect my phone to my laptop to stream music when the laptop was not connected to the Internet but almost a few weeks after the 22H2 update, the audio over Bluetooth would not play on my laptop despite getting paired and connected to my phone. I have tried different troubleshooting ways from reinstalling the driver to reinstalling the "Bluetooth Audio Receiver" windows application but no signs of any audio. Also, I would like to mention that all the sound drivers and device output settings are alright it's jus

Audio streaming over bluetooth not working on Windows 10

I upgraded from windows 8 to windows 10. Previously I was able to stream audio over Bluetooth from my android phone to my laptop. After I upgraded to windows 10, it said that my previous Bluetooth driver was uninstalled because it was not supported and installed
new Bluetooth driver through windows update. After that, there is no facility to stream audio from my phone to my laptop. I connect my phone to pc, go to Control Panel->View Hardware and Sound Devices->Nexus 5->Properties->Services. Only Remote Control and
MMS/SMS are listed there. No audio related service. How to fix this? Is this a limitation in windows 10?

P.S. - I have tried to update Bluetooth driver from device manager but it shows that driver is up to date. Sony has not released any Bluetooth driver for windows 10.

 

Audio stopped working after upgrading win11 to 22H2

I updated my Realtek audio driver manually with the driver listed here:

Microsoft Update Catalog

Windows 11 Client, version 22H2 and later, Servicing Drivers, Windows 11 Client, version 22H2 and later, Upgrade & Servicing Drivers, Windows 11 Client S, version 22H2 and later, Servicing Drivers, Windows 11 Client S, version 22H2 and later, Upgrade & Servicing Drivers

Drivers (Sound)

6.0.9394.1

It downloads as a .cab file, but you can extract the files inside and then go through the Update Driver via Device Manager to use this driver.

And my sound works again.
