Windows 10: Faulty Bluetooth connection between computer and speaker

Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite model L15W-B1312, laptop 11" OS build 19043.1766, Serial# 4F025346S, Processor IntelR CeleronR CPU N2840 @ 2.16 GHz 2.16GHz; Installed RAM 4.00 GB; System Type: 64-bit operating system x64-based operator; Pen and touch: Touch support with 10 touch points; running Windows Home edition Ver 21H1. I bought the computer with Linux installed and I did a complete cleanup and installed the Windows version mentioned above. When the installation was completed, it did not install any bluetooth driver so I looked for one in the internet and downloaded one from the Micr

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.

 

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!
