Has anyone gotten Nexia 7's connected to a Windows PC with Bluetooth

I use an app called Audio Relay. It connects via USB to the phone and PC. It is free to try out and cheap to buy a license. It was a bit confusing to set up initially but it works great. Almost not additional delay over the default phone to hearing aid Bluetooth delay. So basically not noticable. I use it for zoom and streaming music and Netflix.

It works on iPhone Android Windows Macs and Unix.

Ohh I have also used my ReSound TV Streamer+ but it costs more, works out of the box and I save it for the TV. It also has minimal delay.

Sounds interesting, have you got a link for it.

Ok so let’s talk about Bluetooth profiles and what are you trying to accomplish with your set up, you want to stream music or podcasts to your HAs, anything else, like you want hands free with zoom etc.

This is about actually using Nexia 7’s, which have Bluetooth 5.3 Low Energy and using Windows 11 which supports BT 5.3 LE (at least with 24H2) and hardware which supports BT 5.3.

You do understand that Bluetooth Low Energy and Bluetooth Low Energy Audio are two completely different things? All recent Resound aids, for ten years or more, have had Bluetooth Low Energy but only Nexias have Bluetooth Low Energy Audio.

You should be able to connect a Resound Multi-Mike+ to your PC too. But it’s only a transmitter. So it’s probably not what you are looking for.

Anyhow, Microsoft has stated what your computer needs to do LE Audio.

Like I said before when shopping of a new computer, HP only had one laptop that would do LE Audio with Auracast, and I believe Copilot showed only one model of Dell laptops that supported LE Audio. Samsung chat was clueless.

Hello, I have a failed attempt with NEXIA9 (I am not an auracast expert). In my iphone 16 Smart 3D application there is a menu “Find a broadcast Listen to Auracast broadcast”. For the experiment I bought Bluetooth 5.4 Audio Transmitter with Auracast for PC*. Unfortunately Smart 3D does not find this YET-LE10* Auracast/BT-LE audio transmitter. Where is the problem? With ReSound TV Streamer+ my NEXIA9 works very well.

I think the problem is that what you bought is- in the immortal words of Neil Young- a “piece of crap”. I bought the same thing. Know anyone with a S23 or higher Samsung phone? Ask them to share their audio. That was my first experience of Auracast.

On rethink no. 1, the device may not be transmitting at the lower bitrate required by hearing aids. The same thing might apply to audio sharing. I was using buds for my first auracast experience.
