Bluetooth connection with JBL Charge 5 speakers

I am having problems with getting my JBL speakers to work with my Macbook Pro. I am running 12.2.1 and can see the speakers to connect them but if I connect both I get no sound. If I connect just one I can play my music. Is there anyway I can use both speakers to get stereo sound? It works brilliantly on my ipad and on my iphone through the JBL app.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Hey AlisonOS,


That's a great question! For your iPad and iPhone, the app is likely what helps them to both connect for stereo sound. For your Mac, you can use the Audio MIDI to create the stereo pair. Here's how: Set up external speakers for stereo or surround sound in Audio MIDI Setup on Mac - Apple Support


We also noticed that you have an available update to macOS 12.4: Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.


Take care!
