Bluetooth speaker use

I have a Bluetooth speaker running on my pc I'd like to use as a monitoring option. It can play files from WMP. It shows up in the Mixer and is the default device in Win7. SPLAT doesn't show it as an output option. It's on and recognized. How do I get Sonar to make it an option? Thanks

Monitor (Bluetooth speaker) shows up everywhere except Sonar." />

Does it have an ASIO driver installed?
If not, you will need to select a different Driver Mode in SONAR Preferences > Playback and Recording.

Oh man, I never thought about that aspect. ASIO is all I've ever used. I'll try WDM on for size. Thanks much for the input, scook.

Well, I got closer, but still no love... Anyone have any idea why this is?

the project may be at a sample rate or bit depth which selected driver cannot play

Re: Bluetooth speaker use 2015/11/28 16:05:23 (permalink)
Running the profiler in both WDM and WASAPI says that no sample rates are available. Is there a way to get audio out of Sonar to the device in real time for mixing? Thanks much.

Depends on the drivers available. Sounds like the device might only work w/ MME. If that is the case, MME usually results in pretty high latency.

With MME I now see audio everywhere, but the speaker isn't outputting it. Seems by the pic that it should be." />

I agree, signal seems to be getting out of SONAR. Does the device has any control software or is there anything which indicates the signal is leaving the PC. I don't mess with wireless gear.

I went into services.msc and restarted Windows audio. It worked!!  I have 40ms of delay but with only using it for mixing, it will be just fine. I'm very pleased. Thanks for all your help, scook!
