External BT Speakers connect to HP Prodesk but won't play music

[mcg916]

The Prodesk connects with my BT Speakers without a problem however I can't get any music to play out of them.

Under the sound settings there is no option to choose another type speaker,  the default speaker (Synaptics Hd Audio)  is the one that is displayed.

I have been looking online for information to fix the problem and tried a few thing but so far nothing has worked.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thank you

Please install its driver. It should appear on Output devices

Thanks BH for your help,

My bluetooth speakers are LG model:ND5630, I found this info on another forum and it fixed the problem for me. It looks like lots of others have had the same issue but it seems to be a LG v MS thing.

This is what I did: 

Remove the device. Open Command Prompt as admin.

Run this command :

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Bluetooth\Audio\AVRCP\CT /v DisableAbsoluteVolume /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Add the device again and now you can play.
