Send music to SoundTouch Wireless Adapter through WiFi

I have a SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapter. I also have a Windows 10 PC which does not have blue tooth. I want to send my sound to the SoundTouch through my wireless network.

 

I can see the SoundTouch in Media Devices from my the Windows system. How can I send music to the SoundTouch?

 

Thanks.

Hi ,

 

Thank you for taking the time to post and welcome to the Bose Community.

 

I'll be happy to assist you with your SoundTouch Wireless link adapter - I apologize for any trouble you encountered so far.

 

So that I'm able to properly assist you, could you let me know:

 

What device are you trying to send music to? 

What device are you planning to play the audio from?

Do you have any other SoundTouch speakers, or have you ever used the SoundTouch app?

 

I look forward to hearing back from you.

 

Warm regards,

Hi Sam.

 

I have a Windows 10 PC and a Soundtouch Wireless Adapter connected to a very old surround sound system. I'm on vacation now, so I don't have all the details.

Hi ,

 

Thank you for letting me know.

 

Is this the first time you're using the SoundTouch WLA with your system, or have you managed to have it working before?

 

If this is your first time, you'll need to connect the STWLA to the SoundTouch app on your PC, to allow you to select what music you want to play through your surround system. This will require that the STWLA is put in to set up mode and then found through the app.

 

Steps on how to get started can be found here.

 

Let me know if you manage to connect your STWLA to the SoundTouch app!

 

Warm regards,

Install the soundtouch app on your Windows 10 PC.

The SoundTouch works well from my cell phone. It has been for a while. The new part is my Win10 PC which does NOT have wireless networking. But it is wired to my home network.

Hello jeffas,

 

This is fine. Providing that your PC is connected to the same network as your SoundTouch Wireless Link adapter, you will be able to connect and control the system. 

 

Let me know if you have any problems with this.

Hi Sam. 

 

I have the SoundTouch App installed. I can stream music from Pandora, from my cell phone, etc. I want to stream music direct (or indirect) from my PC. So, for example, if I was watching a YouTube video and want to hear the sound through my SoundTouch.

 

Thanks.

Jeff

What I want is to send music through  my PC.

Hello Jeffas, 

 

Thanks for getting back to us. 

 

The SoundTouch Wireless Adapter can accept audio from supported streaming services via Wi-Fi. You can find the supported services here

 

If you would like to play audio from your PC such as a YouTube video to the SoundTouch Wireless link Adapter, you will have to use either a Bluetooth or auxiliary connection. This cannot be done wirelessly via Bluetooth due to your computer not having this. You will need to connect via an aux cable as there is no wireless solution for your setup.

 

Let me know if you have any questions. 

 

Kind Regards, 

Vicky W 

 

 

 

If you want to play the sound from You tube on your computer, you need to connect the speaker output from your PC to the Aux imput from the wireless link adapter.  Use the soundtouch app on your PC and choose the WLA with souce Aux and every sound your computer produces will be played. Remember there will be a delay in sound and picture. Playing audio files from your computer use the app and add source from media library.
