    Hi! Let me help you.

    Disconnect the Wireless speakers from any other devices they were previously connected to, including your computer.
    Restart both the laptop and speakers and re-pair.

    Try these Windows 11 steps in order:

    1. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
      • Select Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices.
      • Confirm Bluetooth is turned on.
      • Also check the taskbar quick settings and make sure Airplane mode is off.
    2. Put the speaker into pairing mode again.
      • A device that is already paired to a tablet may not appear to the PC until it is disconnected from the tablet and placed back into pairing mode.
      • Keep the speaker close to the Windows device.
    3. Check the speaker battery.
      • Charge the speaker fully.
      • Turn it off and back on, then try pairing again.
    4. Change Bluetooth discovery to show more device types.
      • Go to Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Devices.
      • Under Device settings > Bluetooth devices discovery, choose Advanced.
      • Then try Add device again.
    5. Turn Bluetooth off and back on.
      • Go to Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices.
      • Turn Bluetooth off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
    6. If the speaker was previously listed on the Windows device, remove and add it again.
      • Go to Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices.
      • Find the speaker, select More options (…) > Remove device.
      • Select Add device and pair it again.
    7. Run the Bluetooth troubleshooter.
      • In Windows 11, start with the automated Bluetooth troubleshooter in the Get Help app: Run the troubleshooter in Get Help
      • Another path is Start > Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters > Bluetooth > Run.
    8. Update the Bluetooth driver if the speaker still does not appear.
      • Select Start > Device Manager.
      • Expand Bluetooth.
      • Right-click the Bluetooth adapter and select Update driver > Search automatically for updated driver software.
      • Restart the PC if prompted.
    9. Check for Windows updates.
      • Select Start > Settings > Windows Update.
      • Select Check for updates.

    If the speaker connects but there is no sound afterward:

    • Go to Start > Settings > System > Sound.
    • Under Output, select the Bluetooth speaker as the audio output device.
