I can't find anything that says you can. Even the maker doesnt have any available anymore.

I'm using mine as a speaker for my pc. It booms rather than a cheap tinny speaker

Pretty much my experience. For me it came down to whether I kept going back to it after the first week.

Would recommend giving it a go

[BretHart_Mike]

That is the sensible approach. I will keep an eye on it.

Not sure they make them any more like that

Sounds like the speaker is designed to disconnect the Bluetooth audio whenever external power is connected. Some manufacturers do that deliberately to reduce heat or electrical noise while charging.

If there is no setting in the manual to allow playback while charging, there may not be a workaround unfortunately.

That model number rings a bell, and a few portable speakers from that era behaved the same way. Charging mode basically became a separate operating state.

Have you tried a different USB charger rather than a PC USB port? It probably will not change anything, but it is an easy test worth doing.
