Windows 10: Bluetooth speaker worked great on new computer, until now.

Right outta the box the pairing worked fine. The sound icon defaulted to JBL bluetooth speaker and sound worked. Bluetooth menu listed it as paired and listed it in the audio section. Today no sound. Sound icon is just a red circle with an x. Bluetooth says JBL is paired but no "Link up" sound that the speaker usually makes and its no longer listed as being audio in bluetooth menu. Removed the speaker from known devices and rediscovered it (a few times), to no avail. My computer says its paired but its not being recognized as audio anymore. I dont even think there was a Win update so I have no idea whats going on. Just checked playback in sounds and the speaker isnt there anymore.

Bluetooth speaker doesn't work

Hi,

It's really odd that your Bluetooth speaker stopped working with your computer, while it works fine with your other devices. We suggest that you remove your device from the paired list on your computer, and pair it again. You may also check this

Windows 10 computer paired w/ bluetooth speaker, but doesn't send music to speaker

A possible solution to Bluetooth speaker playback issue I tried all the steps listed in several posting forums with no success. I finally found a solution after 3 hours of investigating. 1st several forums suggest updating drivers... but do not specify which drivers to update i.e. the Bluetooth device? (eg. bose audio, sony driver for sony Bluetooth headphones etc.), or the windows driver?

*** For me the solution was updating the Bluetooth driver from LENOVO's website (the laptop/computer manufacture's website) once the driver was installed the bluetooth playback through BOSE Bluetooth audio adaptor worked perfectly.

I understand not everyone will have a LENOVO laptop/computer however I think it is worth downloading the latest Bluetooth driver from the device you are streaming from.

Hope this helps!

 

Bluetooth Speakers

Is the PC in question the one listed under "My Computer" ? If so just check your mobo manual to see if it has bluetooth. Why not just use some regular PC speaker system?

If your mobo doesn't support bluetooth, all you would need is a bluetooth dongle (usb adapter).
