Is there a program which will take audio bluetooth transmissions and
play them through a PC's speakers? Like from a cell phone?

This is about win7 and win10, so posted both places.

You could take your ausio out headphone connection on the phone and run
it into the line in connection on the pc. Then just simply listen to
line in on pc. That's assuming phone has a headphone jack in it.

Wow. That's so obvious, now that you said it. The cable is in the car
so I can't check it now.

I don't know that I have line-in. I have microphone-in. That will
probably be good enough?

Well, playing a little MP3 player this way, plugged into the microphone
jack, works fine.


Using the headphone jack gives me the same sort of problem I had when
trying to use the AUX jack in the car (Even though that worked just fine
the first 2 or 3 days I had the car). With the PC, when watching the
mike inputs, the green bars increase in a regular pattern, every couple
seconds, and then go down to zero. And the sound coming out of the
speaker is just like those bars. No music, no talk, just thudding.

OTOH, plugging headphones into the headphone jack works just fine. So
is there a problem with the headphone jack or not?

The phone knows what is plugged into the jack, and for some reason it
doesn't like the AUX cable (or what is at the other end) even though
it's happy with the headphones.

This seems to mean I have go back to making bluetooth work. It worked
for that guy in the link, who couldn't get it to work in win10 but did
in win7.

Yes, I do have a headphone jack. Like on all good phones. In fact, in
the car before I tried bluetooth I was using the cable to the AUX input
of the car radio and it worked for 2 or 3 days (rental car while
traveling) and then it stopped. Now I hear a low sort-of rumbling
noise, even when I turn the car radio all the way up.

This is what I am talking about above.

My roommate is going to lend me another cable,

I cancelled that, but maybe I shoudln't have.

atlhough a simple MP3 player continued
to work fine with the AUX port. Who knows, maybe it's the cable
anyhow.

(I had trouble pairing the phone with the car (even though I'd paired
it with my PC at home and two in the ear speakers.) The word Mazda was
supposed to show up on the list but didnt'. I finally got it. )

Yesterday it reconnected easily. I guess the first time is the
hardest.
