I've managed to pair my phone (OP3 with Lineage OS 16) to my PC (Intel Wireless-AC 9260 with the latest drivers on Windows 10) but I cannot work out how to get audio streaming to the PC from the phone.
It should work via A2DP Profile from what I've read online, but there's no option to enable such a thing. The phone works fine with various Bluetooth speakers and car audio.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi folks,
I wondering, how to set-up some kind of service on a windows based computer, which enables wm based ppc to play sound through a2dp on it.
Is it possible? Which tool I must use? Any ideas how to do that?
Thanks for all your replies
hhmmmm
you mean, that you only want to listen music from your ppc on your pc with a2dp service?
try to use bluesoleil. It has many services.
Code:

yes, you can do that, provided your device and bluetooth support it.
I do it all the time at work. If you computer has Bluetooth Stereo Audio profile, you pair your phone with it and simply select "set as stereo bluetooth" on your phone, shouldn't require any settings on the computer side and voila, you'll have your audio through your computer. It blows my co-workers minds how I go from headphones to my desktop. My work doesn't have a lot of internet bandwidth so I use my phone to stream di.fm and bassdrive.com.
I must be blind but I haven't found any info on how to stream sound from my desire to my pc through bluetooth service. I have a bluesoleil installed on my pc and AV Headphone service is activated. Still I cannot figure out how to play sound though the bt
any hints?
Same Here,
I have stereo audio and telephony audio gateway services, but the desire just sees it as a computer. It doesn't see that it can be a headset or a speaker... The bluetooth is really simple, it doesn't list services etc.
How do we get it to work?
make sure u have bluetooth on and discoverable on both devices. on pc add a new device, pair it. if u have w7 go to control panel .view devices and printers, click on the phone nad the bt screen will come up. click connect. on the desire just play a music track

nope, xp here. Devices are paired but nothing happens. Desire simply does not see audio service started. Music goes to dynamic as usual.
more hints needed pls
# Windows XP: Does not natively support A2DP, but newer Bluetooth USB dongles and built-in adapters include drivers with A2DP support.

Hello
I just got the Sound ID 510 Bluetooth Headset
& want a USB device that will conect it to my PC
so can listen to Music on my Bluetooth headset from my PC
does anyone know whats the USB device called or where i can find one please
Will this do the Job - Bluetooth 2.0 Dongle Adapter
Thanks
I'm not an expert on these things, but I believe you need to make sure that whatever device you getting can handle A2DP. That's the Bluetooth profile that allows for High Quality audio to be transmitted through BT. What I'm not sure is if the A2DP is a software controlled, or hardware controlled thing.
Followup: I did find this device:
http://usa.asus.com/Product.aspx?P_ID=kMQYNVBNRWehBd3U&content=specifications
Which specifically lists A2DP as one of the supported profiles, so based on that it might be a hardware thing. BTW, the A2DP for this device is only supported on a Windows Machine, not Mac.
Hi, I'm trying to connect my Evo to my Windows 7 laptop so I can use the laptop as a hands-free (better speakers and mic).
It was really easy to pair the Evo, but after that there are no options for connecting?
If you press and hold the computer's name in Bluetooth Settings, the only option is give you is to Unpair. Unless my car and BT handset, where it shows 3 selections (Connect, Unpair, Options).
Has anyone been able to successful pair AND CONNECT their Evo/Android phone to Windows 7?
I got mine to connect once, did it on the laptop side after making phone visible, just transfered some files, doubt it will do what you want without a program on laptop with those drivers that will let it, I doubt it could native
Thanks, yea, on the PC side, there isn't any option to actually connect it?
I can see my phone and it has all the services checked but there's no actual option to connect. Not sure if this is a Win7 or Android issue?
It's the default Windows 7 bluetooth driver; it's not very compatible with smartphones or anything other than some OBEX, headsets, A2DP, etc.
Third-party Bluetooth drivers work OK though, like Blue Soleil.
thanks, that sucks.
hopefully, M$ will improve their bluetooth stack to work better with mobile now that winMo 7 is out.
Running into the next problems when playing MP3 through my PC's speakers through A2DP with my stock Eclair ROM 2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.GB:
PC Win7 X64, Bluetooth 2.0 EDR stick Belkin F8T012, Widcomm Stack 6.3.0.7900.
Paired the Defy with my PC. The Defy shows as MB525 in "Devices and Printers" when I double-click on the icon, the properties appear. From here, I can initiate the "Music and Audio" connection. The Defy's music now plays through my PC's speakers, and I can control the Defy through my PC (pause, back/forward etc.) with a little window that appears above my system tray. So far so good: splendid audio! Now when I end the connection from my PC in the MB525 property page, the Defy starts playing through it's own speaker again, as it should. Perfect. Now I am able to successfully reconnect in the same way once more, but when I disconnect again, the Defy thinks it is still connected and stays silent. After a while the Defy then reboots (no "M" screen, but showing "android"). Then, I can connect for two more times before this starts over.
Is anybody else experiencing this behaviour?
What I think is also strange: I cannot initiate the A2DP connection from my Defy, have to start that from my PC. With my WinMobile phone the A2DP setup was working as it should, no phone reboots and able to initiate from the phone. I tried with older Widcomm stacks, but the same things happened.
Now I tried the same thing with Bluesoleil 8.0.338.0 which I bought as well. No errors, connection initiates from the phone, BUT: no audio could be heard from my PC's speakers during the connection. I selected the correct sound output option, my PC's sound card. In other words: works perfect but no sound.
With both bluetooth stacks, everything else works ok: FTP, Headset profile (can hear audio through my PC speakers now)....
Can someone help me stopping the android reboots with the Widcomm stack, or tell me how to get A2DP going with Bluesoleil?
Apart from this issue, the Defy is a great phone I think!
EDIT:
Tested the Bluesoleil with ISSC and CSR chipped BT dongles on X64 and X86 as well, everything but A2DP seems to work. Connection between the Defy and Bluetooth stick seems to be OK, but no sound is heard.... Cannot test the other sticks with Widcomm, since this stack is dedicated to Broadcom chipsets nowadays...
After struggling with this for four days, I have been able to solve the problems. I tested with Toshiba bluetooth stack and uninstalled this as well because it did not solve the A2DP problem. Then I uninstalled two devices that were present in the Win 7 "devices and printers" folder, a bluetooth GPS and another PC. After this I reinstalled Widcomm 6.3.0.7900. After pairing I am able to use all of the Bluetooth features of my Defy, including A2DP, FTP and Remote control!! I can even initiate the A2DP connection from the Defy like I used to do with my Windows Mobile phone. Thanks for studying this thread anyway!
