Unable to use bluetooth speaker

eliceelice

I have paired my Acer Aspire Switch 10 with a Bluetooth speaker. It says the two are connected but sound only comes through the Switch 10's internal speakers. Using Windows 10 operating system. Would appreciate any ideas.  Thanks!

Right click on the speaker icon in the lower right hand corner of your screen. Chose playback devices frm the context menu and see if the bluetooth speakers are set for playback.

Thanks so much for your reply.  You're a genius - problem solved.  Had a little trouble at first because it listed the correct name but thought it was a headset and said it was the default communication device. I clicked on everything I could find and finally clicked on something that said set as default - not sure how I got there and haven't been able to replicate it but now it says its the "Default Device" and actually WORKS and the internal Speakers say they are "Ready."   

 

Thank you ... thank you ... thank you ...  I would never have figured it out on my own !!!
