Why EasyBluetoothAudio?

Windows doesn't support receiving Bluetooth audio out of the box. EasyBluetoothAudio fills that gap — turning your PC into a Bluetooth speaker in seconds, without modifying drivers or digging through Settings.

	Benefit
	Hear everything from your phone — music, calls, videos — through your PC speakers or headphones
	Auto-reconnects on every startup, so you never have to think about it again
	Lives in the system tray — invisible until you need it, no desktop clutter
	Low latency — native Windows audio pipeline, no virtual cables or third-party drivers

Features

• Bluetooth A2DP Sink — receives high-quality audio from any paired iOS or Android device via the native Windows AudioPlaybackConnection API. No virtual drivers required.
• Smart Auto-Reconnect — reconnects automatically on connection loss. 5 s settle time after a full disconnect; instant reconnect when the radio link is intact.
• System Tray Workflow — runs silently in the background. Opens as a flyout from the notification area, just like native Windows panels.
• Native Device Picker — opens the Windows Bluetooth pairing dialog directly from the app. No detour through Settings.
• Low-End Hardware Mode — reduces SBC bitpool (MaximumBitpool / DefaultBitpool → 15) to stabilise audio on congested radios. UAC elevation is handled automatically.
• Automatic Updates — checks GitHub Releases for new stable versions and notifies you in-app. Pre-releases are skipped.
• Dark & Light Themes — Cyberpunk High-Contrast Dark (Black / Acid Yellow) and a clean Light Mode, switchable at runtime.
