Start with power, Bluetooth status, playback, and volume on both devices. If the speaker says it is connected but stays silent, check the source’s audio output route before resetting anything. For a connection that still fails, remove the saved pairing and pair again; use your speaker’s exact manual for any reset procedure because button combinations vary by model.
Start with the checks that do not change saved settings
Turn on the speaker and the phone, computer, or other source. Confirm Bluetooth is enabled and that the source shows the speaker as connected. Start audio playback, then raise the volume on both devices; either one may be turned down or muted.

A connected status does not guarantee that sound is playing through the speaker. On a computer, open the sound or audio settings and select the Bluetooth speaker as the output device. If the speaker has an audio-in port, check whether something is plugged into it: on some models, that can affect playback, but behavior varies.
If the speaker will not pair or reconnect
Refresh Bluetooth and remove an old pairing if needed
- Turn Bluetooth off on the source device, wait briefly, then turn it back on.
- If the speaker was paired before but will not reconnect, use the source device’s Bluetooth settings to forget or remove that speaker.
- Put the speaker into pairing mode using its model-specific controls, then select its name in the source device’s Bluetooth list.
For the steps to remove a device, use the current instructions for your phone or computer’s operating system; menu names differ. Removing the saved pairing means you will need to pair the devices again.

Pair nearby and check the device entry
Keep the devices close together while pairing. Sony Support’s procedure for the products covered by its instructions says to keep them within 1 m (3.3 ft); treat that as guidance for those products, not a universal Bluetooth range limit. See Sony Support’s pairing troubleshooting steps.
Bluetooth audio compatibility can also matter. Sony’s guidance says the source needs to support A2DP for Bluetooth audio transmission. For applicable Sony products, check the exact instructions if the source shows an entry with an “LE” prefix: Sony warns that connecting through LE mode may fail to connect or produce sound on those products. Do not assume this warning applies to every speaker.

Test whether the source or speaker is the problem
Try pairing the speaker with a second phone, computer, or other Bluetooth source. If it works with the second device, investigate Bluetooth settings or compatibility on the original source. If it fails with more than one source, the speaker may need manufacturer support. This comparison helps narrow down the likely side at fault, but it does not by itself prove a hardware failure.
