Mac sound problems

When I have vo on the mac speeker and music on a bt speeker I can't change vo volume. Sometimes the volume buttons on the mac do nothing and sometimes they change the music volume but there is no way to change the vo volume. I can change the music volume with the buttons on the bt speeker and sometimes with the mac buttons but if I want to change the vo volume I have to disconnect the bt speeker first. Also even when I have vo on the mac speeker the vo voice comes out of the mac like it's supposed to but the vo sounds come out of the bt speeker.

Hello Jessica,
I have limited experience with bluetooth speakers. You may already be aware of the following:
Press VO command, then use left and right arrows to move through the VO Speech settings.
Once you arrive at Volume, while still holding down VO command, use up and down arrows to adjust the VO volume. Once the VO volume reaches 100 percent, it will auto-switch to increasing the system volume instead.
There are probably many caveats to this depending on your setup. I hope this helps!
