So, about 2 years ago now we replaced our hot tub down in Ogden (the old one got froze but good when an ice storm knocked the power out for 6 days while we were away in the UK for Christmas). The new hot tub came equipped with a Jensen MS2013BT Marine radio. One thing I was stunned at was how the radio could connect to a device like a smartphone using bluetooth and initally, I had been able to make my Dell Inspiron PC 'talk' to the Jensen radio. Then something bad happened... I upgraded the PC to Windows 10 'cause it was 'free'. I then found I had 2 printers that were no longer usable, an external backup system and drive that were now boat anchors and it has taken me a dog's age to get my wonderful Technics USB turntable to 'talk' to the PC once again. This spring when we started up the hot tub, I found that the PC was no longer sending anything to the Jensen radio. I went through the pairing, unlocking, connecting and disconnecting procedures described in the Jensen manual - it looks as if the PC has connected to the radio but I can't play music through the radio using a bluetooth signal. The strangest thing is that using the radio controls, I can stop and start music or skip to the next or previous song in a playlist. I've tried using Windows Media Player (which worked fine in Windows 8) and the new 'recommended' Groove Music for Windows 10. Neither worked. I tried asking a help-bot at Microsoft if there was a known issue with Windows 10 and the Jensen bluetooth devices. The answer I got? "Well, maybe you should buy a new hot tub"... Whaaaa?? Boy that person heard some very choice metaphors, expressions, and exhortations...
Has anyone run into something like this? I suspect there may be a driver that is out of whack, but also suspect there IS no Windows 10 driver....
