Hi Tootinator,

Welcome to the Dell Community Forum,

It is unfortunate that you were not able connect the speakers through Bluetooth, please follow the below mentioned steps to connect to the speakers.

1. If the Bluetooth device is installed, verify the radio is enabled.

2. You can turn the wireless and Bluetooth cards on or off using the F2 key.

3. There should be a Bluetooth control panel that lists all the devices the computer recognized

4. Once you you've paired it. Now you need to "connect" it by click on the connect button

5. Once you connect, THEN the sound would be piped through the speakers

Please try these steps and let us know any issues.
