Way Off Topic But Worth A Try

[Chopstix9]

I figure if anyone knows, it will be someone here ... I grabbed a new laptop (broke screen on old one) It's an HP Envy m7 ... pretty nice rig with 17.3" touch screen, i7, 12g, beats audio ... I drive a truck and listen to my Detroit Tigers games through the phone via MLB At Bat ... I am trying to figure out how to stream the audio from the phone to the laptop via Bluetooth so I can listen to the games on the HP.

I come up empty on google searches. From what I've found in Media Player, I can stream out but not in with that... I go into sound properties where it shows the available devices; speakers, microphone and the phone when paired doesn't show up as a device in there. My Dell had an external microphone jack on the side and I was able to change the properties of that to 'line in' ... then I would plug the phone headphone jack into mic jack and listen to it that way. This rig only has an internal mic, no jack.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Edit: Running Windows 8.1 BTW ....

Sounds like you should just connect your pc to your phones tethering and stream from the pc.

The MLB app is device specific and I'd have to buy a new subscription for the lappy. Yeah I know, spend nearly a grand on a lap top but don't want to spend 20 bux on a subscription sounds kind of ironic !!

@Chopstix9 are there any radio stations local to you that broadcast the game when it's on? I kno iHeartRadio and RadioPup and some other apps stream those local stations to your phone and or PC or other device for free.. May be worth a little hunt to save some $$$

Of course there is ... and I listen to that local Detroit sports talk radio station almost all day via radio.com over the net on the laptop with the phone broadcasting the net signal for connection (I'm an over the road truck driver). But even though they broadcast the games on the radio, they are not permitted to over the internet. MLB couldn't get the $$ for their mobile apps / accounts if they allowed that. When the game starts. the internet version of the radio station switches over to the CBS sports talk feed. Only way to hear the game is through MLB.com

Didn't consider that. Sorry.
