Bluetooth Connection to External Speaker (MBPro 2021 Sonoma 14.4.1 AND iPhone 13 Pro iOS 17.4.1)

Having bluetooth speaker connection issues with BOTH MBPro 2021 Sonoma 14.4.1 AND iPhone 13 Pro iOS 17.4.1...


MBPro 2021: I've removed the speaker from my list of paired devices/re-paired SEVERAL TIMES. Now it says connected, BUT the sound is only coming from my computer speakers.


iPhone: Absolutely maddening that it won't find OR connect consistently to bluetooth speakers (Sony nor Harman-Kardon)


@Apple PLEASE FIX THIS issue!!!

MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.10

Not all bluetooth speakers are going to be compatible...


check with the developer of your "bluetooth speaker" for some update—if in doubt search the developers website or contact their: Support/Help/FAQ/Known issues/compatibility/updates…

You can see if there is any thing in the Audio MIDI Setup.app to make a difference
