Audio Distortion
You have trouble listening to sounds on your Bluetooth speaker.
The volume on your device is too high
The speaker may play with a distorted sound at excessive volumes. Try turning down the volume to see if audio distortion is resolved.

External Device Volume
If the volume on your external device is too low, then no sound will be heard. Makes sure the volume on your external device is turned up.

There is a repeated mistake in this guide. “The Braven BRV-HD speaker comes with a power adapter which attaches to a micro USB charging cable and then is plugged into a wall outlet.” is incorrect. The speaker is supplied with a 12v barrel jack connection charger.

Yes, USB is for OUT only (you can power your device from the speaker)

I just bought a Braven 2300 (B23) and I cannot see any indicator lights anywhere on it? Where are they - according to the user manual they are on the back panel near the port… am I being blind?
androsaph - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0
It's been charging for 4 hours already, but it won't power up when I remove the charging cable…. I'll leave it a while longer, and cross my fingers…

My BRV 105 randomly beeps twice during a Spotify podcast. I thought it was Spotify doing it but it's beeping (similar to the pairing sound) when I'm not listening as well. Can anyone help?

1ST TIME CHARGING:
The Braven charged pretty quickly. 4 of the lights are solidly lit up but the re set light is flashing.
I held it down for 30 seconds but it continues to flash. I need some guidance please.
Lory Hersh - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0
The sound is so low no matter what I do. Not worth the trouble!

I thought I charged it overnight, went to use it and it’s dead.
I put it on the charger and nothing

Lorraine Robertson - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0
Is it possible that my Braven brv blade pairing ‘chip’ has failed? I got a new iPhone which now won’t pair with the brv blade. I have an old iPad that still paired because it was paired before. Then I made the iPad ‘forget device’ for the brv blade. Now it won’t pair either.…🤔.
The brv blade will not make a ‘new pairing’ with anything anymore.
I pushed the ‘reset’ button for 10 seconds as well, a few times, still nothing …
Ab
Any ideas, or do I just have a paperweight now?
