Can't connect Bluetooth speaker

I'm using an old Dell monitor (idk what model) and a cheap roku for a tv, but neither of those have audio. When I try to connect my Bluetooth speaker, the roku doesn't even search for new devices other than remotes.

I'd go analog but I also can't seem to find to proper cable. The back of the monitor says "audio dc 12v" in front of a circular port that does not fit a normal aux cord. I can't even find a picture of something that looks like it'd fit.

Please help

Re: Can't connect Bluetooth speaker

Only certain Roku models support Bluetooth devices.

I have a Dell monitor that may be similar to yours.  The 12V port is to power the Dell speaker that can be attached to the monitor.  The speaker gets the audio by connecting to the computer.

You'll need a Roku device that supports a Bluetooth speaker or an HDMI audio extractor that you can connect to a speaker.
