If your speakers are connected correctly, you hear a sound.
If you do not see your external USB or Bluetooth device in the audio options drop-down lists, confirm that they are connected to your computer and turned on.
Advanced Microphone Options

Acoustic echo cancellation
Improves voice quality by preventing echo.
Automatic gain control
