Heres the idea...

When i have a party this Xmas i wanted to play MP3s from my computer using a playlist etc
So i bought a USB Bluetooth adapter and some Bluetooth speakers.
All was great
Music playing from some DJ software on PC upstairs and playing great through speakers in living room downstairs.
But then...
I decided to get a second set of the same pair of speakers for the dining room, thinking i could just add to them and play the same broadcast housewide
I soon realised i can only link with one bluetooth device at a time!!
So its either the Living room with music OR the dining room... not both
Is there a way round this that anyone knows of?

Ok after some head scratching i found a solution.

The problem is that Windows will only playback through one device.
if you have 2 bluetooth devices your forced to choose just one.

Or maybe your a gamer and sick of changing setting as your switch between your USB headset and your 5.1 desktop speakers.

The answer comes in the form of software..
I installed the program "Virtual Audio cable"
Sad part is that its not FREE, but if like me your prepared to buy anything that makes this work, its worth it.
Btw i am in no way related to this software or the creator, i genuinely stumbled across this after 2 days of pain!!!

The software creates a virtual output device called "Line 1"
Then running another program that it comes bundled with it called "audio repeater" you choose the input, ie Line 1 and then an output ie bluetooth speaker 1
Then run the program "audio repeater" again, opening a second window and this time its Line 1 to Bluetooth speaker 2

Then as music blasts round your full house, you will probably shout "Woohoo" and scream a great sigh of relief that the headache is over hahah

Hope this helps someone in a similar situation
