BlueCurve Xi6 bluetooth audio output to computer playback device via Windows

[iChinadian]

I am trying to see if I can play audio from the Xi6 on my Windows 11 computer's monitor with built-in speakers. I have been able to pair the Xi6 with the PC using an Asus bluetooth dongle, but the Xi6 is listed as a playback device while I want it as a recording device. Any suggestions?

@iChinadian -- does your XI6 have the stereo (red & white) RCA-style (post-and-collar) audio-outputs?

Does your monitor have a 3.5 mm audio-input jack? Or, is the only audio-input coming via the HDMI cable between your computer & your monitor?

If so, then purchase a cable to adapt one style to the other.  No need for Bluetooth.

Nope. just HDMI output and I am trying to avoid extra cables.

Why not use the Shaw app in your computer. You can access all the same content through the app. No wires!

Yeah I know I could do that but it doesn't give me the satisfaction of achieving what I am want, which is to play karaoke songs using the built-in YouTube app on the TV, output the audio to my PC where I can mix it with a microphone and then playing the final result on my home AV via Toslink. The computer monitor is just for testing purpose.

@iChinadian -- does your TV have TOSLINK audio output to connect to your A/V box? Can you "mix" on your A/V ?

[iChinadian]

Yes it does, but again, I am trying not to add more wiring but it doesn't look like this will be possible.
