Route Android audio I/O to PC via Wi-Fi

[Android Central Question]

I have a problem with bluetooth that my OPPO somehow never connects to PC via HFP to receive calls or Stereo to listen to anything with audio. I have tried all troubleshooting and tricks, but never got any result.

So I'm now relying on WLAN, DLNA, or any WiFi protocols that would let me route audio I/O to my PC.

I have multiple reasons for this, but mainly to join discord calls while I'm gaming. Reason for this is Discord on desktop eats a lot of RAM and I won't be able to buy RAM for any time soon, so I decided I might as well use a different tech on my side.

Hi, no safe mode on Oppo phone? What andriod version is it on?

In order to route audio through Bluetooth to the computer it would need to show up as a "headset" or "speaker" profile. Most, if not all, computer Bluetooth chipsets will not show up in this way as they're intended to accept connections from those device types in order to play audio through them.

When you hit reply nothing happens?
Try refreshing Chrome if that's what you use.

Andriod 5.1..1 is very old almost now 6 andriod version behind. , your phone Bluetooth probably another issue running old version hardware.

Unfortunately, there's no "reply" button at all

Although it is really old, there's still OTA updates and the FW version of the model A37 has BTv4.1, connecting to actual speakers and headsets are no problem. My only problem is connecting it to my PC, which can emulate a BT speaker via control panel so phones can connect to it as a handsfree handset with no problem.

Honestly, I'm over with the bluetooth problem, I'm just hoping there was a way via WLAN now.

Let me see if another team member can help @Rukbat

Are you able to hook up other bt peripherals to the pc?
Does the pc scan show the phone in the list of available devices after scanning?

 

[Rukbat]

That speakers and headsets can connect means that the PC is a BT audio source. A phone is also a BT audio source. The phone can use an external BT speaker, it can't be or emulate one. (A speaker and headset are audio consumers, the phone isn't.)

There may be apps that may allow you to do what you want, but I haven't run across any.

My Intel Proset driver allowed me to stream my friend's phone's audio to my PC last October. So I didn't understand why it never worked on my phone. Doesn't matter now since Microsoft seems to bring back the ability to do so to any phone.
