Yosemite - Bluetooth speaker stops working

I have an issue where my Bluetooth speaker stops working.  It shows up on the devices list under Bluetooth but when I try to connect it does not do anything.
Rebooting fixes the problem.   But then the next day when I try to use the speaker again it does not work.
This started happening with the upgrade to Yosemite.
Please advise, thanks,
OS X 10.10.1.  MacBook Pro 15" Retina mid 2012

Scratch that.  Things have improved in 10.10.2 - I am able to reconnect to the Bluetooth speaker more often, but it does sometimes fail and I have to reboot.

  • Bluetooth Mouse stops working after software updates

    Hello,
    I've been using a Bluetooth mouse with my X220 Tablet for several months now. After fiddling with device manager to ensure that the Thinkpad Bluetooth device does not have the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" setting set, things were working perfectly.
    However, after running through some windows & Lenovo updates, the mouse now seems to work for a while, but after any idle time, the mouse stops working. Turning the mouse off & back on seems to cause it to reconnect, and it works until the next time it goes idle for 2 minutes.
    I've gone through device manager, and made sure both the Bluetooth & USB Root devices are set not to power down (per http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Bluetooth-mouse-stops-working-from-time-to-tim... ), but still no luck.
    The software updates applied from the Lenovo System Update tool were:
    ThinkPad Power Management Driver: 1.67.04.05
    ThinkPad Power Manager: 6.64.4
    Lenovo Solution Center: 2.4.002
    Intel G1/G2 Display Driver: 9.17.10.3347
    Also, some windows updates  which don't seem related (mostly security), but I can lookup the list of KB numbers if helpful.
    Are there any known issues with the power manager updates that might affect this? If so, what's the best way to revert to the last working version?
    Thanks!

    Try doing a PRAM reset and see if that helps, also put in new batteries as that may make a difference.

  • IPhone 5 speaker stopped working--no known reason

    My iPhone 5 speaker stopped working. Can't hear anything--music, video, person on phone, Siri. But phone functions and can use phone via Bluetooth in my car.

    When adjusting volume, does it show headphones or speaker?
    Clean the lightning and headphone ports to remove any lint/debris.

  • Why does the ipad 2 speaker stopped working after upgrading to ios 8

    WWhy does the iPad 2 speaker stopped working after upgrading to ios 8 why plz respond

    Hi A_S85,
    It appears your iPhone has an issue relating to sound. The following article may help you find a solution:
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
    Can't hear anything from the built-in speaker of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch? Maybe you can hear, but the sound is distorted, muffled, intermittent. Or maybe you hear static or crackling noises. If your iOS device has any of these issues, follow these steps.
    Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
    Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
    If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
    Restart your device.
    Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
    Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
    If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
    If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
    Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Bobby_D

  • External Speaker stopped working - get sound through headset

    I have a Zire 72.  The external speaker stopped working.  If I listen to music or voice memos through a headset, I can hear the message so the programs are working.  I have tried a soft reset but no results.  Has anyone had this expierience?  Sounds and alerts all set to high in preferences.
    Thanks.
    Post relates to: Zire 72

    The speaker cutoff switch may be stuck in the headset jack. 
    Try this procedure.
    Turn the Z72 off. Get a non-conductive electrical contact cleaner (Home Depot has this in the electrical dept.)
    Spray a few drops on the headset plug.
    Insert and remove the plug in the headphone jack 5-10 times.
    Wait several minutes for the cleaner to dry.
    Power on the Z72 and see if the speaker works. If not, try the procedure again.

  • Main speaker stopped working. Phone does not ring, sound only through earpiece/headphone. What to do?

    main speaker stopped working. Phone does not ring, sound only through earpiece/headphone. What to do?

    I spoke to the reseller today and they aggred to exchanged it. They didn't elaborate on the actual cause but thought that it had to be a hardware issue.
    It could either be the issue that Euvix suggested or it could be as simple as the outer speaker is simply not working.
    Anesi, did you use the phone before the upgrade? Looking at what you've written I take you didn't so I would go back and get it exchanged.

  • Left external speaker stopped working

    Left external speaker stopped working, right works fine. When I connect headphones, they work fine. Have tried two different sets of speakers, deleted plists and reset pram. Please help!

    Hmm. I think its not a sound card and its not a speaker problem because both parts (left speaker and sound card) seems to be ok as you have posted in your message.
    Im not quite sure what could be wrong but possibly this issue has something to do with the headphone jack there is a tiny switch inside the headphone jack which enables and disables the speakers if the headphone jack has been plugged.
    Maybe this switch does not work properly.
    What to say in such case the hardware needs to be replaced but in most cases the headphone jack is a part of the motherboard and in such case the whole mobo needs to be replaced and I think this is not worth because of the high parts costs

  • IPhone speaker stopped working today.  Not 1 year old yet.

    IS this iPhone worth the headache of trying to get the speaker working?
    OR should I just buy a new samsung?
    IM not impressed with iPhone this one isn't a year old and speaker stopped working.  It is a disposable hyped up junk!!!

    Hard to find your question amongst the tantrum.
    What have you tried to fix it?
    Is the volume up?
    Is the mute switch on?
    Have you restarted it?
    Reset it?
    Restored it?
    Anything other than complain?
    Samsung?

  • Bluetooth keyboard stops working

    My bluetooth keyboard stops working while I use Photoshop CS4. It happened 4 days ago. I called applecare and they asked that I take the keyboard into a dealer. Keypad worked at the dealer. Brought it home and it worked.
    When I pair the keyboard to bluetooth the keyboard functions, but in all other applications it doesn't. I think it must be the computer an not the keyboard.
    konabill

    It's been a while but I am sure the issue lies with the bluetooth now. I did the SMC reset and the same issue only happened once since. This time I plugged in my logitech USB wireless mouse and it worked fine. I tried to disconnect my Apple bluetooth mouse and couldn't get it to connect again. I restarted the machine by clicking Apple->shut down->restart and when the computer restarted, neither the keyboard nor the mouse worked. I again used the Logitech wireless mouse to try to see my bluetooth setting. However I get the message of "bluetooth not available". I'm guessing my bluetooth unit in this new iMac isn't functioning properly. Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I already tried that but it doesn't work. Appears a warning saying: "See the developer to make sure that iPhoto works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install all available updates in the application and OS X."

  • Bluetooth mouse stops working when adding a printer: 10.10.2

    Hi,
    I'm using a MacBook Pro 2012 Retina, upgraded to 10.10.2.  Since upgrading to 10.10.2 I have been unable to connect to my Canon MG6150 that is plugged into the USB port of the Time Capsule (3TB).  Those problems will be detailed in a separate post.
    I have tried deleting the printer and creating a new printer and when I click on the + and get the window to select a printer, the bluetooth mouse stops working - the message comes up to show "Connection Lost".  I have to select the printer manually and only when I have returned to the main Printer window in Settings & Preferences does the mouse connection work again.
    Weird.  Between this and not being able to set up the scanning features again (that used to work), I'm feeling underwhelmed...

    sounds like an IRQ conflict. See if disabling plug and play in the bios solves it. Arch's kernel provides this already.

  • SL410 - One speaker stopped working - lcd hinge problem ?

    SL410 here - I noticed the right speaker stopped working. It works intermittently if I press down on the left side of the lcd screen or the hinge. I believe the wires are being routed from that hinge (?). Audio out of the headphone jack works just fine.
    Any ideas what might be going on ? Is this a known issue with a known fix ? Would it require major surgery to fix this ?
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that right speaker of your Lenovo ThinkPad SL410 stopped working.
    Since the headphones work fine and you hear intermittent audio while pressing the LCD/hinge, chances are that the wire that goes to the right speaker is probably loose or the speaker itself needs to be replaced.
    Refer the hardware maintenance manual to understand how to remove the speaker assembly and check.
    If your system is under warranty, I strongly recommend you to contact our technical support for assistance.
