In reply to phil_m and cloph, the forum only allows 1 post per day as I am new, so this is a single reply else it would have been per person reply.
phil_m - I agree you shouldn't need a driver to pair the Amplifi with a pc, but none the less every time I try to it fails just like the picture shows in the original picture on my first post. I disagree and believe It is a line 6 issue. If I am a user trying to get this to connect to windows and it doesn't connect Line 6 should have a clear path for its windows users to follow to be able to get it working. If it requires purchasing a line6 Bluetooth that would be fine. I have the latest blue tooth drivers. I used windows updates, dell command update, intel driver & support assistant, and even a 3rd party tool called driver easy to check for the latest version. All state it is up to date.
Cloph- As a network admin I work on everything from the backbone inet of my company all they down to the configuring how the electricity is designed for use in my data center. Before I was a net admin I was a sys admin for over a decade. I am also very open to suggestion, if you know a way that works please share!
I tried using the usb cable to update the firmware, but it was painfully slow over 45 minutes and then it failed. The only way I got the usb cable firmware upgrade to work was to use a mac we have in our office. It was so much faster and I was able to update my g10 as well as my amplifi 150.
The only thing I am trying to do with Bluetooth is to be able to play wedding music via Bluetooth from my laptop. That interesting component only shows up after trying to connect to the amplfi. I used windows updates, dell command update, intel driver & support assistant, and even a 3rd party tool called driver easy to check for the latest version. All state it is up to date.
After dropping almost 600$ for an amp and the g10 I wouldn't mind buying a Bluetooth external adapter. Do you know of one that is tested and guaranteed to work?
This weekend (March 10-11,2018I am going to try a usb Bluetooth adapter I use for connecting my plantronics backbeat go 2 wireless headphones that connect via Bluetooth to the amp. I am also going to try a second dell laptop with builtin Bluetooth with windows 10 and also try with the external usb Bluetooth adapter.
