Windows 7 Bluetooth 2.1 pairing with speaker system but audio still from laptop

[wustlnjms]

I just purchased a home theater system (Sony BDV-E3100), partially because it is Bluetooth-ready.

I have a laptop (Lenovo X201t) that has bluetooth.

I have paired them "successfully", but the audio from the laptop is not going to the speakers. All I can do is use my sound system's remote to pause and play songs and movies.

From what I have read this might have to do with Windows 7 and bluetooth drivers. My built-in bluetooth is named "Thinkpad Bluetooth 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate II" in device manager and is made by broadcom. Any advice?

try this:

Right click the speaker icon in the taskbar, and select playback devices. Set the bluetooth thingy as standard.

May have better luck using a Bluetooth 4.0 USB micro adapter:

:thumbsup: The choice is labeled "Set as Default Device" in the English version of Windows.
