Picked this up on a whim because I wanted a new travel speaker to take with me. It's great to fill up a small to mid-sized room, while being so compact. I got the Spruce Green, and it looks so good. Really happy with it for the price point.
Absolutely the best speaker I have ever purchased! Quality sound, excellent range, and the bass is out of this world! I bought another speaker a few years ago this one blows it out of the water! It truly Rocks!
Hundreds of people and IOS and other platforms trying to use bluetooth headphones, speakers, and car infortainment systems and Team does not work. The statements to do this and that do not work. Often, it is said to go to settings and set the device. No device listed to set. Microsoft has a big problem and need to make bluetooth work.
I'm a dance instructor and at work I run my music off the studio MacBook connected to a bluetooth JBL. For a while this was working fine, all my audio including my Pandora playlists and my students taking class via Zoom came through the speakers. In the last two weeks, though, all my audio EXCEPT Pandora would come through the speakers.
I haven't figured out how to troubleshoot this since the rest of the computer audio comes through just fine. Nothing is muted on my Pandora account as far as I can tell, and the site loads just fine and the controls are responsive, just no sound. I also haven't yet found a related article that has given me any useful tools so that's why I'm making my own.
When listening to Pandora (either on Safari or App, doesn't matter) on my MacBook Air, Monterey 12.1, to any bluetooth speaker, playing one song works, then the audio drops from the bluetooth on the second song. When I turn off bluetooth the song is continuing to play on the computer as if it didn't stop.
I just attempted to connect my JBL Bluetooth Speaker. It shows connected but it will not play through the speaker from my MacBook Air although it shows connected successfully. Same issues as the others. Pandora will not play from the MacBook Air to a Bluetooth Speaker.
When listening to Pandora (either on Safari, Chrome, or the desktop App, doesn't matter) on my MacBook Air, Monterey 12.5.1, to any bluetooth speaker, one song will play through the speaker, then the audio drops from the bluetooth on the second song. When I disconnect from the speaker on my Mac the song is continuing to play on the computer as if it didn't stop.
Yes, it is only an issue when Pandora is the music source. I can play you tube music, or webpages streaming radio, or mp3s on the computer, etc. without issue, except when Pandora is open. The other music sources will drop out when I go to the Pandora page that is open (even if music is not playing on Pandora), then audio will return when I go back to the non-Pandora source.
I have recently started using cubase again and wanted to output to my bluetooth speaker instead of the internal PC speakers. When I connect the speaker to my PC it will output audio form the PC but now Cubase.
Just to make sure:
You are using a laptop PC (?)
What Windows version?
Cubase version?
Is there an ASIO driver available on you system?
We will get you there, there are some smart people on this forum
Cheers!
I have a Sengled lightbulb - bluetooth speaker (Pulse Solo C01-A66) that I paired with my Win 10 computer, but I can't get the computer to send the music signal to the speaker. What do I need to do to listen to music on it? The speaker works fine with my Android phone.
11-13(Alternate). If you do not see "Bluetooth AV", click "Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (Sink)" > Click "Properties" > Under "General" tab, click "Change Settings" > "Driver" tab > "Update Driver" > "Browse Computer" > "Let me pick from list..." > [Now you should see "Microsoft Bluetooth A2dp Source"] Click it > click "Next" > "Close"
PLEASE NOTE: It may be necessary to perform these actions each time you restart your PC until Microsoft fixes it (or maybe forever). However, I've found it to work just as well to skip steps 1-9 and go straight to the Devices and Printers tool.
But before you start troubleshoot this issue, have you make sure to set your Bluetooth Headset as default play back device, while the media player( which ever you're using) was running? Also, have you read the user manual? That can be somethimes very useful!
The missing step is to click on the Speaker icon in the "System Tray" (is it still called that?) at the bottom right corner of the screen. Above the volume slider is the name of the current output device, and to the right of that name is a ^ which you must click to select your Bluetooth device. This worked for me.
I had this happen to me. I had to go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth > More Bluetooth Options, then make sure the Allow bluetooth devices to find this PC is checked.
Seems like a bug with the drivers, as of right now it looks like you can't use the mic and speaker for voice calls, have to use another mic while using these speakers. May have to contact JBL or Microsoft to report the issue.
There is one step you all are missing. After making sure the bluetooth speaker or headphone is paired with your computer and ready to connect open the windows 10 action center and you will see a panel that says.... connect. Click on that. Windows will search for your bluetooth device and ... connect to it.
Based on what @svinec said and despite Windows 7 not supporting Bluetooth 4.1 (my motherboard supports it), I updated my drivers from the Asus website, 'updated' the driver for the 'Generic Bluetooth Adapter' to 'Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A Bluetooth 4.1', rebooted, installed the Asus drivers again and rebooted.
At this point I could see my JBL Charge 3 was showing blue, so it was now paired (before it would pair, but only show white). I removed the device, re-paired it and under playback devices in 'Sound' I found 'Speakers' listed as a 'Bluetooth Audio Device'. I set it as the default and sound now plays from the device.
To make bluetooth headphones appear as a Playback Device: I went to Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Devices and Printers, right clicked my headphones, click Properties tab, click Services tab, check box for Audio Sink To Activate my headphones: Right click the speaker/sound icon in the bottom right menu, select Playback Devices, right click my headphones, check enable, click OK
Works great. Done. Trick was finding my headphones under Devices and Printers as previous poster mentioned - Thanks svinec. Glad I did not have to do as many updates as you, but also glad we both got our headphones working, thanks again!
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.
After I had set my Bluetooth speaker as a default audio playback device and started playing a song, I noticed on the control panel for Playback Devices (and heard with my ears, of course) that it still played through the laptop speakers.I tested the Bluetooth speaker under Properties, and everything was OK. Then I tried turning Bluetooth on and off, and then the DFX, but it still played back through the laptop speakers.
Finally, I went to the DFX menu and saw a "Playback Devices" option, under which I had speakers and the Bluetooth speaker. I selected the Bluetooth speaker, and it finally worked. So, it may be that you're using some sort of an audio enhancement/processing program that does audio device routing you may be unaware of.
This could be a very specific me, but I was having this issue and it turned out that I was connected to a voice channel in my discord, not speaking to anyone, but this stopped the sound coming through my headphones. This probably has something to do with the hands-free function with my headphones (Sony MDR-1000X) As soon as I disconnected from the call my headphones were working again.
What worked for me is I went into my device manager, completely uninstalled my Bluetooth device, and then reconnected. It worked for the first few days and then stopped, nothing worked to make it function properly again until this.
I run Zoom yoga classes and use an ipad Version OS14.1. I have recently started using Rode microphones and connect a lightning cable to use the microphones. The microphones work well but it has reduced the speaker sound when students talk to me. I have to sit next to the ipad to hear them (not helpful when teaching yoga as I am about 2 metres away from the screen). I am trying to bluetooth a speaker and have looked at the Community posts which state I just need to adjust the speaker information next to the speaker Icon. Using Zoom on my ipad results in no speaker icon. I attach a screen shot below. How do I connect to Bluetooth using the iPad zoom screen please?
I have done so. It would be great if anyone else who is also affected by the lack of being able to Bluetooth to a speaker on their phone or tablet also left some feedback requesting that option. I imagine the more of us who ask for it the more likely it will be to be added in the next update.
Price can be a limiting factor. You may not want to spend $150 or more for a small speaker. Luckily, there are plenty of good options for $100, and some decent mini Bluetooth speakers can cost less than $50. Also, certain \"value\" brands that sell primarily on Amazon are strongly worth considering because they do offer a lot for the money.
Well, first of all, you need a TV, video streaming device or set-top cable or satellite box that has Bluetooth. You connect a Bluetooth speaker just like you do Bluetooth earbuds: through the Bluetooth settings menu on your TV or those aforementioned devices (Apple TV, for instance, has Bluetooth connectivity, making it easy to connect your AirPods).
