Check with the manufacturer of your speakers for their support guidance.


Typically speakers will have to be put into discoverable mode before they can be paired. Often, speakers may only be paired to a single device as well. If these have been paired with something other than the MacBook Air, maybe the Mac mini mentioned in your message footer (?), then you may have to reset or unpair them before you can connect to the MBA.


If you'd like more specific assistance here, then we will need to know the release year of your MacBook AIr and the make and model of the speakers.
