I have an Acer laptop - Aspire E1-531-4624, with the AR5B125 installed. I want to connect my computer to a wireless speaker to increase my sound level for music and other sound media through my laptop. How can I enable my wireless speaker to work on my computer?

Is it wireless or is it Bluetooth, they are two different technologies. The former usually require some form of dedicated base because they do not use a computer WiFi network but operate their own independent network.
Bluetooth is far more commonly used but again requires the right hardware in the computer. it requires a Bluetooth adapter in the PC that recognises A2DP devices (not all do). Once paired the speaker becomes another playback device.
Bluetooth is a specific interface that requires hardware, it is not software.
You would need a Bluetooth adapter. A search on line will show many options for your region but you need to make sure it supports Audio which is going to be hard to find. Effectively it has to emulate a speaker interface for the laptop. Most only define themselves as a data device.
It does not show Bluetooth. Is there any downloads available that will allow me to use a bluetooth speaker with my Acer laptop? How can I add Bluetooth?
Then the spec for the model of laptop indicates that it does not have Bluetooth as standard.
Check the device manager to see if it has or not. As I said even if it has here is not an absolute guarantee it will drive the speaker because there are subsets of the Bluetooth spec
