Howdy. We bought this little Bluetooth speaker, and I've got it activated ( I get a good test signal). but I can't get it to play what's on the computer. I'm sure it's pilot error - this is my first Bluetooth device. grin

Any Help?


Regards,

Bob

Not sure what you mean by test signal. Bluetooth devices must be paired. Is this done?

What is playing the music? A laptop?

Well.....not entirely solved yet......

I got the Bluetooth speaker to work by disabling the sound card. Is there any way to have both devives enabled? I know I've done this in the past, but I can't remember how I did it. crazy


Win 7 BTW. Thanks in advance.

This all depends on how the bluetooth handshaking works in your PC.

In Win7: Control Panel | Hardware and Sound | Manage Audio Devices | Playback tab.

There SHOULD be a way to default to Bluetooth when the PC is paired to the speaker.

FWIW, I love the JBL Flip 3 bluetooth speaker we have. Couple it into a corner of the room and that little sucker puts out way more bass than one would expect.

You are right. It's sometime between one and two days though, and he still had (has) time.
