Under the Output section, manually select your Bluetooth speaker from the list. - Check the Volume Mixer: Ensure the specific app you are using (like Spotify or Chrome) isn't muted in the Volume mixer found at the bottom of the Sound settings menu. - Restart Bluetooth Services: Press Win + R, type services.msc, and hit Enter. Locate Bluetooth Support Service and Bluetooth Audio Gateway Service, right-click each, and select Restart. - Disable "Handsfree Telephony": This feature can sometimes force the speaker into a low-quality call mode or block audio entirely. Open the Control Panel and go to Hardware and Sound / Devices and Printers. Right-click your speaker and select Properties. Under the Services tab, uncheck Handsfree Telephony and click Apply. Advanced Fixes: - Run the Troubleshooter: Go to Settings / System / Troubleshoot / Other troubleshooters and run the Bluetooth and Playing Audio troubleshooters to let Windows 11 find hidden errors. - Update Bluetooth Drivers: Right-click the Start button and open Device Manager. Expand the Bluetooth section, right-click your Bluetooth adapter (often labeled "Intel" or "Realtek"), and select Update driver. - Unpair and Hard Reset: Remove the speaker from Bluetooth & devices in Settings. On the speaker itself, hold the Bluetooth/Power button (often for 10+ seconds) to clear its internal memory before trying to re-pair it.
