Edifier bluetooth speakers - not discoverrable, won't connect to Macbook

Hi,


Since last night, before my update to Mac OS Big Sur, my Edifier bluetooth speakers stopped pairing with my Macbook Pro. I thought the update would fix it, but it has not.


I have tried the following: debugging bluetooth, resetting bluetooth devices to factory setting, turning off my Edifier speakers and back on, making sure it is on Bluetooth setting ... I've Googled all I can to see how to get my Edifier speakers to "pairing mode" and can't find anything, so I just assume it's enough to keep it on the bluetooth setting.


At one point I did get the speakers discoverable again with my Macbook's bluetooth, but when I clicked connect, it just had an error sign and said it couldn't connect, with no further note or help. So that's when I tried debugging and resetting everything. Now Edifier won't even come up as discoverable for me to try to connect. I've since been able to re-pair my Macbook to my other bluetooth devices (other speakers/Mouse, etc) but not to my Edifier speakers.


My iphone still pairs just fine to my Edifier speakers which is why I think it's an issue with the Macbook.


Help please :(

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

I just fixed this. Had same issue - iphone pairing fine with edifier speakers but not macbook. Im pretty sure you may have tried this but I fixed by going into system preferences/sound and waited for edifier to show on output list (macbook was recognsing edifier just not connecting). I clicked edifier in the output option and whackadoodle success. I must admit I had to play alot with on offs and connect commands etc. Good luck.

I turned off my bluetooth on my iphone just now and suddenly Edifier speakers were discoverable on my Macbook. I clicked connect and it says "connected," and I have my iTunes playing a song, but no sound comes out of my Edifier speakers. When I switch the output of my sound from the Edifier speakers to my Macbook speakers, the sound comes out. So is it the Edifier speakers or my Macbook giving me trouble?

Yes and they were not helpful. They asked me to do all the steps I had already taken prior to reaching out to them. I did all the steps again and still the problem persists. My iPhone can connect to the Edifier speakers via bluetooth and my Macbook can discover and pair with all my other bluetooth devices except the speakers, so I just don't know which is the source of the problem ... the Macbook or the speakers ...


I reset the bluetooth on my Macbook AGAIN and now it can't discover my Edifier speakers, even though they are clearly on bluetooth setting as I am currently playing music from my iphone to the speakers.
