Windows 10: Windows 10 default drivers don't support A2DP sink mode

I am trying to play my IPhone7 via my ZEXHTE bluetooth dongle on my Windows 7 PC. I understand that since Windows 7, Microsoft Windows default drivers don;t support A2DP sink mode and that is why it won;t work. My question is whether there is a workaround for this or drivers that will allow my connection?

:)

 

Is there any way to make Windows 10 act as a A2DP sink?

Windows 10 has a Bluetooth Stack included and recognizes most Bluetooth Sticks without any problems. However, while Windows does support A2DP, it does not act as a sink and therefore, you cannot e.g. stream Audio from Android to the Computer, which is what I want.

The manufacturer of my BT Stick does not provide any Windows 10 Drivers, since Microsoft does this. I tried the older software, which can act as A2DP sink, but it has a memory leak that crashes my PC after longer sessions of listening to music, which is basically every day (I listen to music while programming/working). (Basically I can watch the non-pooled Kernel memory go up by the second when listening to music and can make it stop by stopping the music)

So my question is, is there any alternative, universal driver I can use that can act as said sink to receive Audio from my Phone on my PC?

It seems like Microsoft has disabled A2DP sink capabilities since Window 8,
or it just doesn't work anymore.

You could try to download and update the audio driver with software supplied
by the manufacturer of your Bluetooth card/chip.

If that doesn't help, you could replace the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack with a
third-party product, such as :

• BlueSoleil Bluetooth Stack
  ($27.99)
  
• Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (for the right hardware)
  
• WIDCOMM/Broadcom Bluetooth Software (for the right hardware)
  

[EDIT]

To summarize our discussion below:

• The Broadcom drivers have the A2DP sink but suffer from a serious memory leak (which has been the case for the last decade), while
  
• Microsoft's A2DP sink capabilities are not functional.
  

So the only options I can think of are:

1. Try BlueSoleil and buy if it fixes the problem and the free version is too restrictive.
   
2. Disable/enable your network adapter whenever a slow-down occurs, in the hope
   that this will reinitialize the memory.
   This can be done via a script run as admin:
   
   netsh interface set interface "network adapter name" admin=disable
   
   netsh interface set interface "network adapter name" admin=enable
   
3. Replace your network adapter with a non-Broadcom card.
   

 

N70 v5.0705.3.0.1 supports A2DP ???

I don`t think that the Nokia N70 has A2DP. Even the Nokia N91 didn`t have A2DP.
