Bluetooth speaker not playing

Hello Tanya,

Your Bluetooth speaker might be paired with your PC but not connected. You can try the following steps to manually connect it:

• Make sure your Bluetooth speaker is turned on.
• On the far right of the Windows taskbar, press and hold (right-click)
  Volume, and then select Playback devices.
• On the Playback tab, select the Bluetooth speaker, press and hold (or right-click) it, and then select
  Connect.
• Select your Bluetooth speaker, and then select Set default. Music should play on your Bluetooth speaker now.

Let us know if performing the steps makes any difference.

 

Bluetooth speakers no longer connect since Windows 10

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I suggest you to disconnect all other media devices, speakers and headphones as shown in picture and only connect the Bluetooth device and check if the issue persist. That could be the reason.

I suggest you to first of all run the troubleshooter and check to find any issues and fix it.

• Search and type Troubleshooting.
• 
  Click on Troubleshooting and select the
  view all option on the left pane.
  
• 
  Click on Playing Audio troubleshooter and follow the prompts
  

If the issue still persist, follow the steps mentioned in the link below.
