    Hello

    I have connected my smartphone (Motorola Moto G 2nd generation) to my Z40 via Bluetooth.

    Unfortunately, I can't seem to use the PC to listen to music played by my smartphone, or use it as a hands-free kit. It looks like I can only Exchange files.

    Someone find a way to do this?

    It should be possible to listen to the audio from the laptop through Bluetooth.
    In my case first I had to activate the audio profile in my BT Android smartphone settings.

    Then, after pairing BT I have found the smartphone in the
    Panel of-> sound-> recording devices

    Here you set this unit as default.
    Now, right click on the device and choose Properties.
    Switch to the listen tab and check the option called listening on this unit
    In the Advanced tab, I had set the standard format of 2-channel 48 kHz CD quality

    After that I could listen to the music to the speakers for laptop

  • Drivers works fine, but I cannot listen to or hear any sound (when starting, I hear windows start sound / tone)

    I ve realtek speakers. The symbol of the speaker does not have a cross. I hear the windows starting sound/music, when starting. I looked in the playback options and drivers who are working very well. Only problem is the computer is not detecting my headphones or speakers, I m using Windows Vista Home premium. My speakers are on and was running at full volume, but when I go in the playback devices it says that speakers are not connected. The drivers work well, but I cannot listen to or hear any sound.
    Please help me about this

    Somehow, the speaker jack is disabled on your machine.

    1. Open its in control Panel.
    2. On the read tab, highlight the icon speakers
    3. Click on the Properties button
    4. The box of the use of the device can be set to "disable this device.

    Otherwise, I disable it, apply and activate, apply the setting.

  • Why can I not use "play to" listening to music in network folders?

    This really should not be this difficult.

    I have a router (asus RT-N66U) and a drive hard usb connected to it (WD Mybook).  Hard disk is full of files mp3 music.

    I use WMP12 to play that music on any of the computers connected to the network (Win7 anytime running - a few laptops and one desktop).

    Also connected to the wireless router is a dlna receiver who returns to my entertainment system.  Using of "play to" I can listen to music from any of my computers connected to the dlna receiver and so in the entertainment system.  Yay!  Party!

    But, the music that I can "play to" the dlna receiver is locally the music stored on the COMPUTER DOING THE STREAMING.  Whenever I try to listen to music from the shared hard drive connected to the router I get the game - to the error message "Unable to retrieve information about the media on the media server".  This isn't a problem with the codecs - I can copy the music to one of the hard disks in the computer, then use to play and it works very well.  Why play in cannot the apparently simple task (and obviously necessary) streaming of files from the shared to the receiver dlna network drive?

    I tried to turn off and then back on the file sharing multimedia WMP and services UPnP - no change.  I tried to add a registry entry for the media sharing - no change.  I tried to disable firewall on the computer and the router - no change.

    Should I really go to Apple and use airplay, which seems to handle this kind of thing very easily and intuitively?

    Bottom line, it is related to DLNA and indexing.
     
    If you have WD network devices which have Twonky and activate Twonky,
    You can get the game to / DLNA to work.
    has the details.
     
    I do not know if you enable the DLNA server on the router
    a feature that is necessary, but it's something you should try.

  • iPhone 7 - can't reload everything while listening to music?

    I listen to music through my headphones all day to work on my iPhone 6 s. For this I need to have my iPhone supported otherwise it won't last all day.

    As far as I can see, the iPhone 7 allow me not to that!

    Looking at the ear pods included lightning and lightning to 3.5 mm jack, it does not appear that there is a way to load and listen at the same time.

    This issue alone will keep me from moving to the iPhone 7.

    Am I missing something?

    The only way to listen to music, while the iPhone is supported is to use a bluetooth headset.

  • So, now that the iPhone 7 no longer a listener, how can we charge the iPhone and listen to music at the same time?  There is an adapter that will be a separator so that the two things are possible?

    So, now that the iPhone 7 no longer a listener, how will we be able to charge phone and listen to music at the same time?  Will it be a card which will be a dispatcher?

    You can use a dock of lightning to reload everything using plug the dock integrated headset for listening to music.

    The new iPhone is great! But a quick question that I can't find the answer to... In the car, I use the TomTom app and listen to the music on my phone. Because it must be reloaded when I use TomTom, I have a cable for music and one for the load. The new iPhone means that I can't load and listen to music at the same time? Or will there be some accessory available?

    Thank you!
