Question Can't pair Sony speaker CMT-X3CD with chromebook & smartphone

[CarterUSM]

Hi

I cannot connect my above Sony speaker with either my new Chromebook or my new smartphone (although I've been able to connect it to my now rather obsolete IPad). When I am trying to connect it to the Chromebook, the speaker name is appearing within 'Settings', but as an 'Unpaired Device' and ultimately failed to connect.

Is it possibly because the Sony speaker is now relatively obsolete compared with the newer generation of devices, and it just won't be possible to connect to them? Or is there another reason for this?

Any assistance would be gratefully received. Thanks in anticipation.

There is no special trick to pairing devices, they tend to work or not work, and if they don't work and a driver/firmware update is not available, it's due to the bluetooth hardware not working with the other side. Nothing can be done there except replacing things.
