Google Mini is paired to my PC but not showing up as an output option

[cayly_chia]

I was able to pair it once and use it as a speaker and could change the output from headphones to speaker seamlessly. Then when I booted my computer up again, it disappeared from the "Sounds" bar. I haven't been able to get it back since. I've tried removing the device, restarting my computer and even resetting the whole speaker.

Any idea on how to get the mini working as an output device again?

You may have to ask the google mini speaker to enable bluetooth, again.

It's designed to work on wifi, such as with spotify streaming - not as a portable bluetooth speaker (but you can do it, as long as you enable bluetooth and follow any needed steps to connect)

I tried that multiple times. Disconnecting bluetooths from both ends and removing the device from both as well.

That's all you can do. Enable bluetooth, connect, play audio.

If the bluetooth connects, the issue could be with your PC settings outputting to the wrong device.
