Listening to music a couple of nights ago (streamed from Spotify on my MacBook, though I\u2019m not sure how relevant that is), I found that my Bose SoundLink Mini II speakers kept turning off after 5 minutes (running on battery power, connected with a cable). Spotify kept playing but the sound stopped\u00a0until I turned the speakers off\/on again.<\/p>\n

I hadn\u2019t seen this issue before – and I was using the same 3.5mm AUX cable setup that I often use with our small TV (to improve its sound quality), so I hit the interwebs to see what I could find\u2026<\/p>\n

Some hunting around suggests that the issue may have been the low volume level on my MacBook<\/a> (I was in the room directly under my youngest son\u2019s bedroom, after bedtime).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Speaker\u00a0does have a power-save mode, but it will generally only enter this when no audio is detected. The most likely explanation here is that the speaker is getting a very weak signal [\u2026] and boosting it enormously with its internal amp.<\/p>\n

[\u2026]
\nIf you are using a headphone jack or similar [\u2026], try increasing the […] output level while turning the speaker’s volume down. This should provide a stronger signal on the AUX port which would prevent the speaker from sleeping automatically.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sure enough, increasing the volume on the MacBook to around level 4-5 and decreasing the volume on the speakers seems to stop\u00a0the power-down. Indeed, to make sure this was the case, I turned the MacBook\u2019s volume back down to 1 and waited for the music to cut out\u2026 then, when it did, I just increased the volume to around level 4-5 again and the speakers came alive!<\/p>\n

On a related note… I stumbled across these\u00a0Spotify tips and tricks<\/a> that might be useful…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
