Malcom, you win, I went into device info and set it as speaker as opposed to 
car stereo or headphones. 

Go you!

Subject: Re: a real mystery with Bluetooth and voiceover

In my experience some Bluetooth speakers play both Voiceover and media through 
the external device and some don’t.

One thing you could try is this.

With all devices disconnected, go into Settings and Bluetooth.

Place focus on the device you would like to change and flick up to More Info.

Double-tap this.

Now on some devices you have a Device Type button.  If available double tap 
this.

Now you can change the device type which alters whether both media and 
Voiceover come through the speaker or not.

Some of my speakers were detected as headphones so Voiceover came through the 
speaker too.

Changing the device type resolved this.

Worth trying this to see if your results change too.

I have about six Bluetooth speakers here and they behave differently.

Subject: a real mystery with Bluetooth and voiceover
 
So everybody, I somehow am able to have voiceover remain on my phone and play 
audio content on 2 of my Bluetooth speakers. The third one still wants to pick 
up the voiceover as well as the audio. 
They are literally the same speaker except the one that is misbehaving isnext 
to my computer. 
I’d love to have it so all the speakers left voiceover on my phone and played 
my content over the speaker. 
I submitted this puzzler to apple accessibility, but wanted to post it to the 
list in case any of you may have some ideas.
