- Return to the Bluetooth menu on your computer when you have finished pairing and wait to see if your device is on the list of discovered devices.

You can toggle the volume on your Windows 10 if you do not seem to hear any audio from your speaker. To make sure that your speaker is always set for audio, go and right-click the volume icon that is found on the bottom right side of the screen.
