I tried this for my alexa echo dot and it doesn't work. I should've not tried to update my windows 10 to 11. It was really a downgrade and windows isn't trying to fix the bugs. What a disappointment.
windows 11 does not recognize my bluetooth speaker as an audio device

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

2023-12-12T07:39:46+00:00 Yes, came here with the exact same issue - connecting a Bluetooth speaker in Windows 11 no longer works. Simple things, Microsoft, and to compound the issue my Bluetooth headphones now come through sounding like an AM radio, presumably only connected as a mic and not an audio output.
Removing the audio output menu from Windows 10 is also egregious and short-sighted.

2023-09-06T12:21:50+00:00 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?

2023-05-27T20:39:01+00:00 Creative Stage Air V2 does not come with driver, I checked their official website, they do list this speaker as windows 11 compatible, and it did work for a period of time before just all of sudden stop working one day
I did not see "Hardware and Sound" on the control panel
"Sound" and "Devices and Printers" are two different tabs I found
There's no "Handsfree Telephony" in the property tab
