Bluetooth pairing - cannot replicate sound?

ShaneMcB — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 18:15:38 GMT

Hi,

I want to pair a Bluetooth speaker. Searched forum, found how to do it (set as default speaker for a mini).

But when I do it, it seems like I can either have the mini as the speaker, or the Bluetooth device. That's not what I want. What I want is the Bluetooth speaker *and* the mini to play music.

So really I'd prefer setting up the Bluetooth speaker as a separate speaker in Home, which doesn't seem possible. Only option is to make it the default speaker for a mini, which loses functionality.

Help!

Thanks!

I appreciate you trying to help. It's not a laggy connection or poor sync. It is by design only one speaker (the mini) or another (the bluetooth speaker).

I have a similar issue using an "older" BICONIC bt speaker, except in my case, the mini won't play at all unless I unpair the BT speaker, turn off BT broadcast on the speaker, or power off the speaker.

Like you (Shane McB), I want music to play through BOTH the mini and BT at the same time. In case someone is anticipating an answer, I do NOT have any other BT devices paired to my mini besides the BICONIC BT speaker. This mini is not part of any speaker group.

Hi folks,

Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community.

I totally understand that playing both Nest speaker and your Bluetooth speaker while connected is a good feature, but this isn’t available. I'd suggest you submit feedback about it, here's how.

Let us know if you have other questions and concerns otherwise, we will be locking this thread after 24 hours.

Regards,

Juni
