“ If the speaker seems to connect but will not play audio, try restarting it with the following procedure:

Connect the speaker to power.

Press and hold the Multi-function button for 10 seconds.

While continuing to hold the button, unplug the speaker from power. Then release the Multi-function button.

To completely reset the speaker, press and hold the Power button for 10 seconds until the speaker turns off.”

This seemed to work with our Bose Soundlink Color 2 (had same issue, resolved with this this morning).

The multifunction button is the button between volume buttons. You can see it in the manual (which also has some troubleshooting points at the end):

In case the instructions seem a little off, one other link that shares similar instructions:

The bottom of first page and the second page cover placing into Ship Mode.

The fix seems to be putting into Ship Mode and then possibly Reseting (wiping) speaker, where you’ll have to pair devices again like it was new.

Hope this helps!
