    . bit of an obvious Q but does your main computer have bluetooth, as knowing you, you'll be trying to connect them to a device which doesn't have it Hidden Content

    its probably because you have two external Bluetooth receiver connected

    one for the mouse and kb

    and another for the speakers

    sadly you can only have on plug in Bluetooth receiver

    you can confirm this but totally uninstalling the kb/mouse device [inc the drivers

    then installing the speakers one

    bet they now work.

    its nice here....

    Well the official Bluetooth specifications state seven is the maximum number of Bluetooth devices that can be connected at once.
    However, three to four devices is a practical limit, depending on the types of devices and profiles are used.
    Some devices require more Bluetooth data, so they are more demanding than other devices.
    Data-intensive devices may reduce the total number of devices that can be active at the same time.
    If a Bluetooth device becomes slow to connect or does not perform reliably, reduce the total number of connected devices.

    Tech Sound output device fail

    best to right click the speaker icon next to the time and select playback devices. look on the list and choose the output you want. as this gives you many options but make sure you click default on the one you want.
