How to connect Sonos Era 100 to Desktop via Bluetooth

I have paired and connected by Sonos Era 100 speakers to my Sonos app on my mobile devices (Ipaid Air 2, Pixel 8).  I paired the speaker to my Dell desktop XPS 8930, but it will connect for only a second and then unconnect.  I have tried rebooting the speaker as well as the PC.  Nothing works. 

 

My primary use of the Sonos Era is to connect via Bluetooth audio files in my library on my PC.

 

I have tried googling answers or related information but cannot find anything.   Any suggestions?

It would be easier and more reliable to set up your local library playback directly in Sonos, using the PC app.  https://support.sonos.com/s/article/257?language=en_US

I can’t help you with Bluetooth, its not something I have an interest in, and its infamously unreliable on PCs.

Thanks for the link.  My Dell XPS8930 tower connects via Bluetooth to my Edifier speakers, to my Soundcore portable speakers, Soundcore and Bose headphones, as well as my Apple Airpods Pro and Tozo earbuds. without a problem.  So I expected, it would work with my new Sonos Era 100 speaker.
