Re: Bluetooth connect to a non roku speaker

If the speaker has wired inputs, connect to the TV's headphone or optical outputs.    The only way to connect to non-roku bluetooth device is to install the roku phone app on an android phone or iphone and use it to pass audio to the device paired with the phone.   That's convenient with headphones but would be weird with speakers.

Re: Bluetooth connect to a non roku speaker

The roku's that are bluetooth like the Roku soundbar and wireless speakers are only receivers, not transmitters. It will accept music from your cellphone, but it CAN"T send signals to Bluetooth speaker of ANY kind.
