That you can use it for computer audio makes it even better.<\/p>\n
While you can connect a 3.5mm audio cable like this one by Syncwire<\/a> and connect the speaker to your computer that way (if your speaker has a 3.5mm port), this site is all about how to do things wirelessly.<\/p>\n In this article, I am going to show you how to connect a Bose speaker to a MacBook or any Mac OS X device wirelessly and use the Bose for your computer audio. This works with not only a MacBook Pro but also the Mac Mini, Mac Pro, MacBook Air, and the iMac.<\/p>\n Note that the way you tell the Bose speaker to pair with a new device might differ from mine, but it usually only takes a push of a button.<\/p>\n\n Let’s get to the how-to guide.<\/p>\n Step 1<\/strong>: Click on the Apple icon up in the left corner and go to “System Preferences”. You can also click CMD + space and enter “System Preferences”, then click enter.<\/p>\n Step 2<\/strong>: Go to Bluetooth settings.<\/p>\n Step 3<\/strong>: Turn on the Bose speaker and push the pair\/Bluetooth button. If it connects to a different device, push it again and make sure it’s in pairing mode.<\/p>\n Step 4<\/strong>: The Bose speaker should now show up in Bluetooth settings on your Mac. Click the connect button, or right-click and choose “Connect”.<\/p>\n Step 5<\/strong>: When the connection has been made, you can go to “System Preferences” and Sound. The Bose speaker should be selected in the output tab.<\/p>\n Step 6<\/strong>: Now the Bose speaker will be used to play the computer audio. You can control the volume either with the volume keys on the Macbook, with a keyboard, or with the speaker itself.<\/p>\n Go to system preferences, Bluetooth, right click on the speaker name and choose “disconnect”.<\/p>\n It depends on which Bose speaker you have. Some speakers can connect to several devices.<\/p>\n For a more permanent setup, the Bose Companion 2 speakers<\/a> are great for computers. They’re not wireless, but they’re an excellent choice still.<\/p>\n Can you use an Aux cable and Bluetooth at the same time?<\/p>\n You usually have to pick one of the two on the speaker. You can hook a different device up to the speaker with an aux audio cable like this (click to view on Amazon)<\/a> while staying connected via Bluetooth to your computer, then choose on the speaker which output you want to use.<\/p>\n Yes, this is fine and safe to do.<\/p>\n Make sure that the speaker is connected in the Bluetooth settings on your Mac computer. You also need to make sure the volume isn’t turned all the way down.<\/p>\n Even though it shows up in the settings, it might not be connected and might be connected to a different device. Right click on the speaker in the settings to make sure it says “Disconnect” and not “Connect” because then you have to connect it first.<\/p>\n![\"how](\"https:\/\/donewithwires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/connect-bose-speaker-to-macbook-mac-os-x-wireless-bluetooth3.jpg\")
