Connecting BT Speaker & Nitro 5 AN 515-57 Laptop. Cannot select the speaker for sound output.

Has anyone been able to connect a Bluetooth Speaker and the Nitro 5 AN 515-57?

I was able to pair the speaker with the laptop. However, after numerous attempts I cannot select the speaker for sound output.

Acer stated the cost $100. I think this is bad CRM.

That is impossible, if the external BT speakers pair with your laptop then they should work and have sound, as your laptop should output sound to them. I've got a similar Nitro AN515-56 laptop that has the same Killer 1650i card to your AN515-57 laptop and I've got a set of BT headphones and BT external speakers paired to my laptop and both work perfectly with no issues.

If there is no sound, then it could be either the Killer 1650i BT card section that is the issue (uninstall and reinstall the oem initial BT driver version 22.40.0.2) as on my AN515-56 my laptop only works with the BT driver version 22.40.0.2 and it won't work with any other new updated Killer driver, as there is no sound. so, this could be what is the problem with your AN515-57 laptop. Otherwise, your laptop has an internal audio problem that you need to have the laptop analyzed by a technician and fixed. Good luck and hope this helps you out.
