Can a computer problem get any weirder? I'm running a fast Dell laptop with Win 11 Pro. If I play audio from YouTube while browsing with Brave (or Chrome), System sounds, test tones from Windows' troubleshooter, etc., play over a bluetooth speaker just fine, but the audio on the YouTube vid plays only over the tiny laptop speakers. (Nothing is connected to the headphone jack.)
I've been all through Windows troubleshooting, and even a session with a MS tech support rep, to no avail, other than doing a Shift + Shutdown now results with (after booting back up and returning to You Tube) the You Tube audio playing over the Bluetooth speaker if using MS Edge, but audio coming from YouTube via Brave or Chrome still plays over the laptop's speakers. What on Earth is going on?
You’re quite welcome!..........................
No, I was simply suggesting that this is a historically-typical thing for Microsoft - back-door incompatibility. They label it a bug, but it is semi-intentional.
Ah, a way to “force” people to using Edge. Got it.
