    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    To be able to assist you better, please clarify the following:

    • Is the laptop currently able to connect to other Bluetooth devices, like a mouse or headphones?
    • Does the speaker's name show up in the laptop's Bluetooth search list at all, or is the list completely blank?
    • Has this speaker ever successfully played audio from this specific laptop before?

    What is the model of your Lenovo laptop?

    If you prefer, you can share a screenshot of your system information.

    • Press "Windows + R", type msinfo32 and press Enter.

    Maximize the window and use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Try these steps on the Lenovo laptop to restore sound from the Bluetooth speaker:

    1. Check Bluetooth connection
      1. On the laptop, select Start > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices.
      2. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
      3. Confirm the speaker shows as Connected. If it does but still has no sound, continue.
    2. Set the speaker as the output device
      1. Click the Sound icon in the taskbar.
      2. In the output list, select the Bluetooth speaker.
      3. Or go to Start > Settings > System > Sound.
      4. Under Choose your output device, select the Bluetooth speaker.
    3. Unpair and re‑pair the speaker
      1. Go to Start > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices.
      2. Select the Bluetooth speaker and choose Remove device.
      3. Click Add Bluetooth or other device.
      4. Choose Bluetooth, then select the speaker when it appears and complete pairing.
    4. Restart Bluetooth
      1. In Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices, turn Bluetooth off.
      2. Wait 10 seconds, then turn Bluetooth on again.
      3. Reconnect the speaker and test sound.
    5. Update Bluetooth drivers
      1. Select Start > Device Manager.
      2. Expand Bluetooth and select the Bluetooth adapter (may include “radio” in the name).
      3. Right‑click it and select Update driver > Search automatically for updated driver software.
      4. Complete the wizard, then restart the laptop and test again.
    6. Run Bluetooth/audio troubleshooters (Windows 10/11)
      1. Open the Get Help app and run the Bluetooth troubleshooter using the Run the troubleshooter in Get Help option from the Bluetooth support article.
      2. Also run the Playing Audio troubleshooter from Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters (if available) and apply any fixes.
    7. Restart the laptop
      1. Select Start > Power > Restart to clear temporary Bluetooth/audio issues.

    If the speaker still only works on the iPhone and not on the laptop after these steps, check the speaker manufacturer’s site for firmware updates and confirm it supports the Bluetooth audio profiles required by Windows.
