I downloaded the Acoustic Bridge trial.  It's loaded on a laptop and a Win 8 tablet (Samsung 500T).  Setup so tablet audio directed through laptop which plays music via Bluetooth speakers.  Doing this because of problems with bluetooth on 500T.

When I set this up, there was no sound on remote speakers.  But when I used the buttons on the tablet to adjust volume, the sound would play briefly.  So I checked and found the "Allow this machine to be unmuted" option in AB on the 500T.  When I do this, the music plays via the remote laptop and BT Speakers as intended.  So it works, but obviously having the crummy tablet speakers playing is not the best which is, I'm sure, why they are set to mute by default.

Any idea why this is not working with the speakers muted and what I might try to fix it?  (I tried several different apps on the 500T, no difference).

Thanks!
