Regarding PowerPoint and splitting JAWS between headset and speakers

I got the Bluetooth headset connected to the computer. Then went into the PowerPoint pressed insert spacebar V (victor) then B  (boy) and right  arrowed
Just tried this while typing this email, and I could hear a sound difference. Note, I don't have external speakers at this time. Probably need some?
However, while in the PowerPoint jaws and the beginning music only plays through the Bluetooth earphones and says something about Braille disconnected.
Also, went now into the PowerPoint while not connected to the Bluetooth earphones, and it worked.
So:
#1. Settings in the computer need to be what?
#2. Something going on with the earphones and I need to try another set?
#3. I only can do this with USB earphones?
#4. I need to get some external speakers?
  
Infinite Blessings,

Yes, recent versions of JAWS have the ability of splitting your audio, sending JAWS/Computer to one side, and meeting or other audio to the other side. You could use an ear bud for the computer and send other side to room.

Command is JAWS Key plus spacebar, then b,  then right or left arrow to move audio.  To undo same commands except up arrow to restore instead of right or left.
