iPhone bluetooth connection on Windows 8

Hi,

Since I reformated a HP 8560w to Windows 8, I am unable to play music from my iPhone to my laptop. With Windows 7, as soon as I connected my phone to my laptop using bluetooth, I could stream the music directly on my laptop speakers.

With Windows 8, I also have a successful bluetooth connection with my iPhone ("connected") but sounds are not transferred to my laptop.

All drivers installed correctly in Windows 8 Device Manager, phone connected, but sound stays on iPhone. iPhone has latest IOS.

Has anyone seen this and fixed it?

Thanks.

Benji.

I have no app. Maybe I am missing some software. I have a Broadcom 2070 BT card in my HP. Checked on the HP site for my model but it is not clear.

You got it. I had the driver but not the app. I found the app on the Broadcom site (not HP). Thanks.

I too have an HP 8560W and now can stream music through my laptop from my iPhone, which I didn't know I could do and probably won't use, but you never know!

Thanks for asking the question.
