    Hello!
    I'm sorry if I chose the wrong department, but I thought it was a matter of drivers.
    My problem is as follows:
    I have a BT Sony SRS-XB30 speaker which, when paired with a Toshiba Satellite l755-1lf, does not play. The blame lies naturally on the laptop side (Windows 7 64 bit).
    The loudspeaker is shown as paired in toshiba bluetooth stack, it is set as the default playback device, while testing you can see the change in the volume level in the Sounds window, but there is not even any noise from the loudspeaker.
    Interestingly, I managed to get a sound when I reinstalled the drivers and toshiba bluetooth stack, but only until the disconnection, after reconnection again silence, deletion and re-pairing does not give anything.
    I tried the Bluesoleil program, the situation looked similar, the speaker played to a certain point, then from what I remember bluesoleil could not turn on bluetooth, as if I did not have bluetooth on my laptop at all.
    I also tried to restart the bluetooth service in services.msc etc., but it only helped once (when I used the bluesoleil) when it turned out that the service was for an unknown reason disabled, from that moment it did not turn off.
    I would like to add that my second JBL GO speaker works when it is paired freshly, when it is already paired and I turn it off after turning it on I need to pair it again to make it sound, unfortunately in the case of Sony pairing again does not help.
    My network card is atheros ar9002wb-1ng.
    The problem is very strange and frustrating, why sound only the first time fresh after installing drivers? I've been tearing my hair for a few days.
    A good beer for who will help me!

    Yes, the problem I've described is popular, but it usually helps you set the speaker to the default playback device.

    Does your Bluetooth card have A2DP? Without this, it can not handle playing music.

    Check power options - prohibit the system from disabling the WiFi / BT card to save power.

    Have you dealt with this? He's taking me by now. I have the same, the sound does not work
    on one of my laptops. A situation analogous to yours. I tried every one
    what described and effects identical to yours.

    Unfortunately, no, I do not even want to worry about it anymore, because it is a pity for nerves, and nobody will help.
    If you find a solution, drop it here.
    What kind of laptop do you have with what os and what speaker bt?

FAQ

TL;DR: If your SRS‑XB30 pairs but stays silent on a Toshiba L755‑1LF (Win7), verify A2DP—“A2DP is intended for streaming stereo audio” and mandates 1 codec (SBC). Then set the speaker as Default and turn off Bluetooth power saving. [Bluetooth A2DP]

Why it matters: It helps Windows 7 users quickly fix “paired but no sound” with Sony SRS‑XB30 and similar Bluetooth speakers.

Quick Facts

How do I fix “paired but no sound” on Windows 7 with a Sony SRS‑XB30?

Try this quick reset:
  1. Remove the speaker in Devices and Printers, then restart Bluetooth.
  2. Pair again and select the speaker for audio output.
  3. In Sound (Playback), set the speaker as Default and test. This resets pairing and routes audio correctly. [Fix connections to Bluetooth audio devices]

Why do audio meters move in Windows but my SRS‑XB30 stays silent?

Windows can show level meters from the app, yet the stream may not reach A2DP. Causes include wrong default device, stack glitches, or a disabled audio service on the BT device. The thread reports meters moving with no speaker output despite pairing and default selection. Re‑pairing or stack changes briefly restored sound, then silence returned after reconnect. [Elektroda, Dragonil, post #17222530]

How do I set the Bluetooth speaker as the default playback device in Windows 7?

Open Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Manage audio devices. On the Playback tab, select your Bluetooth speaker, click Set Default, and ensure it’s Enabled. This routes all system audio to the speaker. “Turn on the use of the device” if it appears disabled. [Elektroda, lucash33, post #17364966]

What is A2DP and do I need it for stereo sound?

A2DP is the Bluetooth profile for stereo music. “A2DP is intended for streaming stereo audio.” It supports 44.1/48 kHz and mandates the SBC codec for universal playback. Without A2DP, media audio will not play to a Bluetooth speaker. Confirm your device exposes a Stereo/A2DP sink, not just Hands‑Free. [Bluetooth A2DP]

Should I disable Bluetooth adapter power saving on this laptop?

Yes. Power saving can suspend the Wi‑Fi/BT combo card, causing silent reconnects. In Device Manager, open the adapter’s Power Management tab and clear “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.” As one expert advised, “prohibit the system from disabling the WiFi/BT card to save power.” [Elektroda, DriverMSG, post #17241183]

Why does audio work right after reinstalling drivers, then fail after reconnect?

A reinstall can briefly reset the Bluetooth stack and re‑enable the A2DP service. After a disconnect, the stack may reattach the wrong service or fail to initialize A2DP on reconnect. The report shows first‑time audio success after reinstall, followed by silence after reconnection, even with default selection. [Elektroda, Dragonil, post #17222530]

Can BlueSoleil conflict with the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack?

Yes. Running multiple third‑party stacks on one system can conflict. In the case discussed, after using BlueSoleil, Bluetooth would not turn on, as if the laptop had no Bluetooth. Use one stack at a time and fully uninstall the other before testing. [Elektroda, Dragonil, post #17222530]

My JBL GO works only after re‑pairing, but the SRS‑XB30 stays silent. What does that mean?

It points to stack or service binding problems. JBL re‑pairing forces a fresh A2DP bind, so it plays once. The Sony fails even after re‑pair, implying a deeper stack or driver conflict. Remove other stacks, re‑pair cleanly, and set the speaker as Default. [Elektroda, Dragonil, post #17222530]

Will installing Linux help Bluetooth audio on the L755‑1LF?

Linux uses the BlueZ stack for Bluetooth. With PulseAudio or PipeWire, A2DP is standard and often reliable with supported adapters. Results vary by chipset and firmware, but many users resolve Windows‑only stack issues by testing Linux live media. Try a live USB to verify. [BlueZ Project]

How can I verify that A2DP is actually being used in Windows 7?

In Sound > Playback, look for a device labeled Bluetooth Stereo Audio rather than Hands‑Free. Hands‑Free uses HFP/HSP and sounds narrowband. A2DP delivers stereo music using SBC at 44.1/48 kHz. If only hands‑free appears, the A2DP service is not active. Re‑pair or change stacks. [Bluetooth A2DP]

Which driver should I try for the Atheros AR9002WB‑1NG on this Toshiba?

Use the OEM’s latest Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi combo driver first. A third‑party driver link was suggested in the thread, but the user had already installed it. If drivers are current, focus on stack conflicts, default device selection, and power management settings. [Elektroda, actin, post #17223529]

Is the Sony SRS‑XB30 faulty if Windows shows activity but there’s no sound?

Probably not. Pair the XB30 with a phone to verify audio. In the thread, the speaker worked with other devices, indicating the laptop’s stack or settings were at fault. This isolates hardware and guides you toward software fixes on the PC. [Elektroda, Dragonil, post #17224955]

Could Windows 7 itself be the problem here?

Windows 7 is out of support, limiting driver updates and stack fixes. Older stacks can misbehave with newer speakers after reconnects. Testing the Microsoft stack or a supported OS often narrows the issue. Plan an upgrade path if possible. [Windows 7 support ended]

How can I test if audio is routed to the XB30 at all?

Play a test tone and watch the Sound > Playback level meter for the Bluetooth device. If levels move but the speaker is silent, re‑select the Default device, toggle the speaker’s power, and re‑pair. This symptom was observed even when paired. [Elektroda, Dragonil, post #17222530]
