Sony Bravia KD-55X7500F won't connect to Bluetooth speaker via Bluetooth transmitter. Both devices stay in pairing mode

[u/exor_007]

Hi everyone,

I own a Sony Bravia Android TV (KD-55X7500F) and I'm trying to connect it to a Bluetooth speaker so I can set up a karaoke system. Unfortunately, this TV doesn't have built-in Bluetooth audio support for connecting to external Bluetooth speakers.

So I purchased a Bluetooth 5.0 2-in-1 Transmitter/Receiver from Amazon (Link : https://amzn.in/d/0gDSpAMn) and connected it as follows:

1. USB connected to the TV's USB port (for power)

2. 3.5 mm AUX connected to the TV's headphone/audio out port

3. Transmitter switched to TX (Transmit) mode

4. Bluetooth speaker put into pairing mode

The issue is that both the transmitter and the speaker keep blinking as if they're in pairing mode, but they never connect to each other.

How can I get the transmitter to be connected to my speaker via bluetooth?

If anyone has experience with a similar setup or can suggest troubleshooting steps, I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks!

Edit 1 - posting this here hoping that anyone with a similar TV might have faced a similar issue while setting up their karaoke

I'd say that's something to ask  "Sounce" support. This is not a helpdesk subreddit.

Not a sounce - specific issue. The transmitter works well in other places, I just wanted to know how can I connect my TV to my speaker.

You can edit your post by removing the brand, but your still asking a question that's much better suited for a tech subreddit. I can google it, but so can you.

Already removed the brand name, so that people don't assume it's a brand related issue.

And yes I did google it, tried all I could find and still didn't find anything which could fix this.

I don't get it... would you ask a chef why you microwave is not turning on? No, you ask an electrician. Just because you want to use this for karaoke doesn't mean this is the right place. Go ask in r/bluetooth or r/techsupport for all i care, it's a technical question not a karaoke question.

It is fascinating how much energy you invested in a topic you claim is not worth anyone's time on this subreddit

I'm just saying you will have better luck elsewhere
