Solve : Bluetooth Speaker Icon keeps vanishing?

Answer» HELLO from a newbie.

I have a Sony bluetooth speaker SRS-BT100. which worked fine with my Sony Laptop when I had Vista installed. I have recently upgraded to Windows 7, and now every time I want to use the speaker I have to remove it from Devices & Printers, and then reinstall it.


When I reinstall the speaker, it APPEARS in the Sound - Playback window, and at the same time the Bluetooth speaker window opens allowing me to click on connect, and link the speaker to the Laptop.

However when I have finished LISTENING , and close this Speaker Connection Window , the speaker icon vanishes from the Sound-Playback window. I then have to remove the speaker and reinstall it, next time I want to use it.

In Vista the speaker icon was permanently located in Sound - Playback, so I could set it as default or select it every time I wanted to use it.

How do I get the Speaker Icon to remain permanently in Sound Playback

Advice would be much appreciated, Thank you, Anthony
Further investigation makes me think my ignorance may have CONFUSED the issue.

It is now clear to me that if I break the bluetooth connection by either switching off the power to the speaker, or closing the Laptop , then there will be no automatic connection when I next try to play some music.

Also the speaker icon in " Sound .... Playback " will be missing, until I remove the speaker from" Devices & Printers " and then put it back using "Find a Device"

All will then work ok, until the next time I break the bluetooth connection between Laptop and Speaker/
