Hi @wardy2980

Welcome to the HP Forums!

Thank you for posting your query in this forum, it's a great place to find answers.

I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to know how to play music from your phone to the laptop speakers.

Don’t worry, we will work together to resolve this issue and It’s a pleasure to assist you in this regard.

Follow below steps to play the music from laptop speakers.

Step 1: Download and install Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 on your computer. Users who are on the 64-bit operating system should download the appropriate version.

Step 2: Now turn on Bluetooth on both the devices – the computer and the phone – and make both of them visible.

Step 3: Right-click on the Bluetooth icon in the Windows system tray and select the option Add a device. Now search for your mobile you want to stream the music from and add it. When you add your mobile, Windows will install all the necessary peripheral drivers for your phone.

Step 4: After both the phone and your computer are paired with each other, right-click again on the Bluetooth icon in the system tray and select Show Bluetooth Devices this time.

Step 5: On the Devices and Printers window, right-click on your paired phone and click on the Bluetooth Operations. Windows will now scan your phone for the types of services available. If A2DP support is available on the phone, it will show an option to Play Music under Audio and Video operation section. Click on the link to activate the control.

Step 6: After the service is connected, a small player control will appear on your taskbar. If it does not appear automatically, right-click on the taskbar and select Bluetooth Remote Control under the Toolbars menu.

That’s all. All the music you play on your phone, you can now listen to it on your computer’s speaker as long as both the devices are connected to each other. You can manage the phone’s music player using the remote control on the taskbar. When you want to stop playing, just disconnect Bluetooth on either of the devices.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!

Take care.

Cheers!

Hi @The_Fossette

I'm using Hp Pavillion 15-ab031TX powered by window 10. I tried the steps which you have posted above. It might work for window 7 or window 8 may be but I'm using Window 10 and its not working. You can follow till step 4 but in step 5 the dialoge you showed does not open. Instead this dialoge popups after clicking (show bluetooth device). after that its a dead end. i tried but not working even in autoplay option. Can you please tell any other method that could help me. 

Thanks ..

Hi @Mr_Singh87,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I appreciate you taking the time to share your concern and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers.

I reviewed your post and I understand that you are unable to stream audio via Bluetooth from your phone to the laptop.

I’d love to help!

• First, you must make sure that your phone Bluetooth supports"A2DP" audio streaming feature.

Right click on bluetooth>OptionsSettings>COM Ports and check if your streaming service installed there

• Second, you Must setup your android driver on your PC, just connect your Phone to your PC over USB port and wait for WIN10 to finish the driver update.
• Last thing just setup your Android sync program from your phone website

Last note: you can stream your audio over WiFi too, just connect your phone and PC to the same Router "network" and you can find a lot of apps at android store to do that, It's simpler 🙂

Let me know how it works and you have a good day ahead.
