no audio (8.1)after i tried (and failed) to connect a bluetooth speaker

i bought a bose soundlink mini to connect up to my lenovo laptop. i have upgraded to windows 8.1. i couldn't get the devices to connect, and while i was paying with this project (!), the audio on my laptop stopped working after i heard a tone from the bose speaker; but no music ever came out and now i have nothing!. i have alert tones on the computer, but i can't get the speakers to play music. hope someone can help

 

my audio is back (!), but i still am unable to connect to my bluetooth speaker. i did upgrade to newest bluetooth driver, but still no luck

 

Start from the simple to the more complex reasons for your problem. Meaning, check to make sure your bluetooth is enabled (on) and move from there. I would also check out the lenovo and bluetooth help forums to see if anyone else is having the same problems.
