My Bluetooth speaker Creative Stage Air 2 suddenly stopped being recognized as an audio by Windows 11, windows 11 will connect it as a Bluetooth device but not as an audio device

I try to disconnect it and reconnect through the system - sound - pair new output device - did not work, it'll connect to Windows but not as an audio device

    I have the same problem and nothing seems to work as a solution. I would just connect my Creative Stage Air V2 with USB but not having bluetooth connectivity with my PC is very annoying.. Have you found a workable solution?

    Has this problem been solved yet for everyone?

    I still have the exact same issue, only in the Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Playback I cannot "enable" my device. The option is there, but nothing happens when I select enable.

    I'm seeing the same thing with my Logitech Z207 speakers I keep in my garage. They worked under Win10. I've disconnected and re-paired under Speakers. Bluetooth shows connected. Speakers does not show them as a choice. Devices shows the speakers but shows them as disconnected and will not let me connect.

    I found a solution which works for me. The situation you guys are facing may be similar with mine.

    My system time zone is different from my local area. And I changed to the local zone.

    And there is another setting in "Bluetooth & devices". Under "Related settings", there is a "More Bluetooth settings" section. I opened it, and checked "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this PC".

    After about seconds later, the bluetooth speaker appeared. After that I unchecked the "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this PC", it still works after I removed the device.

    I don't know which part made this worked. Just take a try.

    I have this same issue; have reinstalled drivers so many times - even chatted with MS support last night who got me to do a full Win11 repair and I STILL have the same issue and nobody can tell me why or how to fix it! I can only assume this is a bug in Win11 (the audio device I used to use with no problems on Win10 is a Yamaha amp) and nobody cares
