Hi @Amarok580,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused don’t worry let me help you.

From what you described, it sounds like your HP laptop is recognizing the Monic Bluetooth speaker as a microphone (input) instead of (or in addition to) a speaker for sound output.

Kindly follow the below steps: 

1. Check sound output manually

Sometimes Windows connects the device but doesn’t switch audio output automatically:

• Right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar
• Open Sound settings
• Under Output, manually select the Monic speaker (not the laptop speakers)

2. Check input vs output devices

• In Sound settings, scroll to Input
• If the Monic speaker is selected as the microphone but not as the output, that’s a clue
• You can leave it enabled as input, but make sure output is set correctly

3. Look at Bluetooth device type

• Go to Settings → Bluetooth & devices
• Click on the Monic speaker
• Check how Windows labels it (Audio / Voice / Other)

I hope this helps.
