Difficulty using Party or Stereo modes | Bose SoundLink Micro Bluetooth® Speaker
Party and Stereo modes work with the following Bose speakers:
- SoundLink Flex Bluetooth® Speaker
- SoundLink Color II
- SoundLink Micro
- SoundLink Revolve Bluetooth Speaker
- SoundLink Revolve Plus Bluetooth Speaker
- SoundLink Revolve Bluetooth Speaker II
- SoundLink Revolve Plus Bluetooth Speaker II
- S1 Pro System
Use the Bose Connect app to pair speakers.
While Party and Stereo modes are available via the Bose Connect app or via the product buttons, the app has a user-friendly visual interface and also lets you to connect different model product (e.g. a SoundLink Revolve and a SoundLink Micro). For more info, see Enabling or disabling Party or Stereo mode.
Make sure only one speaker is powered on and connected to your Bluetooth® device.
Stereo and Party mode will not work if both speakers you want to use are powered on and connected to the Bluetooth device.
Try pausing audio when engaging Party or Stereo modes
Pause audio streaming to all speakers before turning on Party or Stereo mode.
Check for and install any available product updates.
For more info, see Checking the software or firmware version and Updating the software or firmware of your product.
If using two of the same speakers, name them differently in the Bose Connect app.
When connecting two same-model speakers, give them different names to help distinguish between the two. For more info, see Renaming a product.
Try moving the products and Bluetooth® device closer together.
In Party/Stereo mode, the Bluetooth device connects to the first product, then the first product connects to the second product. To prevent the products or device from disconnecting, keep them with Bluetooth range, which is about 33' (10 m). This range, however, can be reduced by interference, like walls, metal, doors or other Bluetooth devices in the area. Check if the issue is resolved when your Bluetooth device and products are in close proximity.
On the Bluetooth® device, remove all entries of your Bose product from the Bluetooth menu. Then, try connecting again.
In the Bluetooth menu of the Bluetooth device, you'll find a list of Bluetooth products that have been previously connected. Your Bose product might show up one or more times in the list (i.e. it might be listed a second time with "LE" in the name). Select each entry for your product and remove it by selecting Forget, Unpair, Delete or something similar. After, try connecting again. For more info, see Connecting a Bluetooth® device.
Clear your Bose product memory of previously-connected Bluetooth® devices.
Your Bose product remembers the last several devices it connected to so it can quickly reconnect to them. In case there is an issue with the device memory, clear it and then try to reconnect the device. For more info, see Clearing the product memory of paired Bluetooth® devices and Connecting a Bluetooth® device.
Reset your product.
Much like rebooting a smartphone, your product might need to be reset on occasion to correct minor issues. For more information, see Resetting your product.
