edited March 2022 in Nitro Gaming
To start with, are they even supported?
I am using Nitro 5 515-44 laptop with Intel 6 AX200 wifi adapter which has Bluetooth 5 specification
I am not sure how to check other specs
If it's supported, I would like to know, how can one control audio playback remotely when playing/streaming from Android phone

(Thread was edited to add model name to the title)

    Ok so, @AnhEZ28, thnx for your time and patience, i finally got a way to do what i wanted.
    I installed BubbleUPnP on my device connect my laptop with hotspot (from same device/phone)
    With the help of windows media player that supports UPnP streaming, I'm able to play music wirelessly, and control playback with multimedia keys

    AND, I checked the link given, it was absolutely opposite of what i needed


    The Network Audio Remote application (app) is available on certain Internet capable home audio devices. The app allows you to turn your Android™ smartphone or tablet into a music controller for the audio system.

    Taken from the site


    Well, what i want is, controlling my audio playback from my laptop which streams music from android

    @lostb053 isn't that app from Sony and it just controls the music of the Sony speaker?

    Exactly, and ofc I'm not looking for that
    1. I don't have Sony speakers
    2. I wish to control music on my phone from my laptop, when music is being streamed from phone via laptop speakers

    @AnhEZ28 well, this just works as i described, but I'm sorry if I just keep complaining, actually I'm not quite satisfied with it.

    Lemme explain why I'm dissatisfied.
    Earlier I had Dell Vostro 1540 laptop, quite old like 10 years or so, with win7 ultimate 32-bit.
    It had a feature that would lemme connect android devices with it and use AVRCP and thus stream music with controls. The link you shared satisfies me till that extent, but here comes the next thing I expect.

    Actually Your Phone (now Link Phone) app won't lemme control music with touchpad gestures or multimedia shortcut keys, which was possible in old laptop. I wonder if it's my fault for being obsessed with same feature as I had in my old laptop which nowhere to be seen now. And to add to that the response is slow. I wonder if it's because it depends on internet and I'm using mobile data since I don't have wifi.

    Anyways, thanks for suggesting the link, it's quite useful otherwise, like managing msgs, calls, and various stuff on phone.
    I hope you get some better option for that to suggest me, since googling didn't help me much, else I guess I will just give up looking for AVRCP now

    @lostb053 does that laptop use an additional app for controlling the music?

    @AnhEZ28 nope, it doesn't. I was too naive to install anything back when i used it for blasting music

    btw, a small update.
    my requirements

    1. Play song from phone via laptop speakers wirelessly (may it be bluetooth or wifi)
    2. Control audio playback
    (above two are actually fulfilled, i hope i can get 3rd one fulfilled too)
    3. Actually treated as player on laptop (i mean it's then only that multimedia key shortcuts will work)

    @AnhEZ28 when i used to play music in my old laptop, it would open a small window with music controls, sort of a player playing music from android using avrcp to control playback

    @lostb053 so do you just press the play/pause multimedia key in the laptop to control the music? Can you show me how it works if you still have that laptop?

    Unfortunately i don't have that laptop anymore, but yes
    The multimedia keys worked
    Actually before writing the last post i realised something, that's why i decided to make clear what i want

    I realised that if I somehow set up a virtual drive on network that connects to my phone, i can sort through files on my phone and play music via music player accessing song from network drive. So i will be playing music from my phone, wirelessly, and will be able to control playback via multimedia keys.

    And here comes my next issue that ain't related to windows or Acer. So i wonder if i should ask here
