    Can't get music to play through Jambox or other bluetooth speakers. the only BT connection I can get is for the laptop to play music through it's speakers, from my cell phone. i reinstalled the drivers from the Sager site to no avail.

    Once it is synced, you would need to set it as the default playback device in Windows volume settings. Is the system able to sync with the bluetooth speaker(s) at least?

    I think so, but the sound keeps coming out of the internal laptop speakers. I'll take a look at the windows settings and get back to you. thanks.

    wow! after about 50 clicks around and about in all the audio and BT dialogs, I finally got it working, thanks to your tip. The last thing I did that got it working was set the particular BT device to "default" within Realtek.

    :thumbsup: Yeah, with bluetooth speakers, Windows doesn't typically default to outputting through them the way it does when you plug something into the 3.5mm stereo jack. Glad I could help!
