I am trying to use my echo as a speaker for my computer. I didn't have Bluetooth on the computer so I purchase a USB Bluetooth. I have tried everything to get it connected. First I couldn't even find the Echo as a device. It did finally show up in "add a device" after I updated all the drivers for the USB Bluetooth. However it keeps saying "try connecting your device again". I have put it into pairing mode and tried and also tried without pairing. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?
