Windows 10: Bluetooth speaker only does "Connected, voice" and not "connected, stereo"

After my computer did a driver update using AVG Driver Updater, my laptop, a Dell Inspiron 15 7506 using Windows 10, has had trouble getting a stereo connection with the bluetooth speaker, a Sony SRS-XB43 Prior to the driver update, the connection was fine, and I could see that I had "SRS-XB43 Stereo" as an option for playback device, but now it only lists "Headseat Earphone SRS-XB43 Hands-Free AG Audio, which means I can play sounds with it, but it's in mono... and we all know we don't use these devices for such crappy sound. Obviously this isn't a headset, it's a speaker. Using This prio

Zoom Audio not playing when connected to bluetooth transmitter

Bluetooth headsets have two modes because Bluetooth 4.x does not have enough bandwidth for both stereo speakers and a microphone at the same time.

• Hands-Free = Mono speakers + microphone
• Stereo = Stereo speakers + no microphone

Bluetooth headphones only need one mode because they don't have a microphone.

• Stereo = Stereo speakers

Airfly Pro is only designed to be used for stereo headphones or stereo speakers

I assume you are plugging the 3.5mm plug for the Airfly Pro into the input for the speakers
You then connect the laptop to the Airfly Pro using Bluetooth
For speakers in Zoom select Bluetooth Stereo
For microphone you select some microphone such as the one built into the laptop

The limitation of this setup is that you will only hear one side of the call on the speakers. What you say into the microphone won't be heard at all on the speakers. Another problem is that Bluetooth only has a maximum range of about 30 feet.

My bluetooth speakers Phaquaboom are connected but there is no sound

Hi,

Here is something to try, if you are still having this problem.

In some cases it is possible that the Bluetooth speakers might not re-connect.

• To re-connect your speakers, simply right click on the Volume Control icon and select Playback devices.
  
• Select the device to connect and hit the connect option, while the device is powered on.
  
• Once the device is connected, please make sure that it is set as the “Default Device” or “Default Communications Device” depending on whether it is a music or voice connection.
  

I hope you have already solved your problem or that these steps help.

Thanks!
