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.

 

How to play audio/music through speakers AND bluetooth speakers


I have a pair of Creative T40 speakers plugged into the 3.5mm jack on my laptop. I got hold of a bluetooth speaker and that was recognised straight-away.

I have installed a large monitor (32inch) to the laptop on which I work as well as watch movies and play games. I was wondering if I could setup that audio, be it music, gaming audio or movie audio could be played through BOTH sets of speakers.

The main T40's are on either side of the monitor and I have the bluetooth speaker behind me on a shelf. That would, kind-of, give me surround sound. Or when I have people over I could get better sound if I could just move the bluetooth speaker to a different part of the room.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you.

 

I am not able to pair the wireless speaker with the Windows 10.

Hi Joseph,

We appreciate you for being a part of Windows 10.

Before proceeding, we need more information to help you better.

• 
  Is the wireless speaker connected with the other device? (Your Metro cell phone)
  
• 
  Are you able to connect to the other Bluetooth devices in Windows 10?
  

Until you reply to us with the required information, follow the below suggestions.

If you have connected/paired the wireless speakers with the other devices including your Metro cell phone, I suggest you to unpair the speaker with the particular device and try to pair with Windows 10 or other devices in order to use the wireless
speakers.

Please be informed that when the wireless speakers are connected to other devices, you may not be able to pair the speakers with the other devices. To pair the speaker, you need to unpair the wireless speakers with connected devices and try to
pair with other devices.
