After I updated my computer to Windows 8/10, I am no longer able to establish a Bluetooth connection with my speaker to play music.
How can I correct the problem?
This is because most Windows do not support A2DP stereo audio streaming via Bluetooth, the standard for music-listening through Bluetooth.
The system will support keyboards, mice, printers etc. via Bluetooth, but not audio.
It is necessary to download the proper drivers, either from the computer manufacturer, the software manufacturer or the manufacturer of the Bluetooth chip in the computer.
Help to do this must be sought with the companies that supply one or more of these computer features.

What can I do with the Connect app?
It is possible to rename the Bluetooth name of the primary connected device and set the Party or Stereo mode. If a firmware upgrade is available for any Connect, Connect+, or Partyboost compatible speaker, this can be installed through the JBL Portable app. Only identical products can be set to stereo mode.
Please note that, even though you can pair a Boost TV with JBL Connect, you cannot control this from the JBL Connect App

Does my speaker have an input selector, or are Bluetooth and AUX signals playing simultaneously?
Bluetooth keeps on playing, even if you connect something and play to the AUX input.
BT keeps on playing, since it has first priority.
If you pause or stop BT play, any source playing to the AUX input will now be heard.
If you resume play on the BT source, it will take over, and the AUX source is no longer heard, but will of course keep on playing, since there is no way to send a pause or stop signal to the AUX source via the line cable.
All of this means that there is an input selector switch built into the device, controlled by the BT play function.

Buttons unresponsive when plugged into a power source
If the buttons on your portable speaker are not working properly or are unresponsive while plugged into a power source, please try running the speaker on battery. If the buttons perform correctly while running on battery, this means your power supply is not providing enough current/amps. Be sure to use a power supply that has a rating equal to or greater than the amperage rating indicated in your product specs.
