Connecting the Speakers

Start by placing your Bose Companion 20 speakers on a stable surface near your computer. Ensure the power cable is connected to the speakers and plugged into a power outlet.

Right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select “Open Sound settings.” Under “Output,” choose “Speakers” or “Headphones,” depending on your setup. Test the sound by playing audio.

For Mac

Click the Apple menu and select “System Preferences.” Click “Sound” and then go to the “Output” tab. Select “External Headphones” or “Line Out,” then test the audio playback.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Ensure the speakers are powered on and connected properly.
  • Check the volume levels on both your computer and the speakers.
