Bluetooth Speaker Help

[daveb2007]

I have Acoustic Energy bluetooth speakers which play perfectly from my mobile phone, ad I am trying to get my laptop to do the same.

I have paired the speakers using the Microsoft BT stack, but I cannot find the speakers under my Sounds section in the control panel - I had assumed I would just choose these speakers instead of my normal soundcard and use winamp or iTunes to broadcast streaming music to them.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

BlueTooth Problem : Unable to play song on my laptop/pc using mobile phone

I am not able to play song (stored on mobile) using audio accessories of laptop

What I have
- BlueTooth 4.0
- BlueTooth wave from Toshiba
- Bluetooth Stack from Toshiba for Windows
(Toshiba has created its own Bluetooth stack for use on Microsoft Windows)
- Nokia phone with Bluetooth enabled
- Music player on phone shows "Play via BlueTooth" feature

Steps I did

- Enable both BlueTooth on phone and Laptop
- Play song on mobile. I can hear the voice from mobile.
- Click "play via BlueTooth" and connect laptop. It shows me connected status but i cant hear the voice now.
- Music progress bar is running. Sound device is change to "BlueTooth Wave from Toshiba"
- When I change music track from mobile, a beep sounds on laptop acknowledging some change.

I am not able to figure it out.

Please let me know if you require more information about the steps i followed or my observations.

Thanks

In my case, the problem was that my Toshiba laptop had no means to broadcast steaming audio in A2DP format. If I want to get my setup working, I need to buy a dongle that will stream audio in this format.

Maybe your issue is related to this.
