Bluetooth not working

Odysseus · 2026-01-13 20:19:34

Hello,

In Blueman 2.4.4 my headset and external speaker are detected, recognized and paired but there is no sound.
Contrary to what happens in LMDE, for both devices I have the orange and blue bar but not the green one.

Could someone solve this please?

You might have to select the output in pipewire/pusleaudio.

No there is only a choice between the internal speakers and an audio headset currently not wired.

Are you using pipewire or pulseaudio?

Under pipewire you should be able to select a sink. Don't remember how pulseaudio did it.

Also, it you right click on the device under Blueman there should be audio profile.

It's pulseaudio.

I don't use pulse audio but here is a possible solution.
