Bluetooth speaker [solved]

Hi,

Is there any recommended way of easily setting up audio via bluetooth?  I've tried blueman, which finds my speaker, but I'm unable to find options to send audio through it.

I installed the pulseaudio module but there's no options in the mixer etc.

EDIT: It seemed to be a pairing issue - colour me stupid.

I have also been unsuccessful in getting bluetooth to work.

My bluetooth earphones appear to be getting paired with the computer, but I can't get any sound out of the earphones.

When I select mixer dialog menu it shows a choice of "speakers" and "headphones unplugged". Of course when I select the headphones, I don't get any sound out of the bluetooth earphones.

I am booting and running this distro from a live bootable usb pendrive.

The bluetooth earphones work fine running from a Mint 18 distro,live bootable usb pendrive.

Anyone got an idea what is wrong with the bluetooth?

It might be better if you started a new thread (and link to this one maybe), instead of asking for help in a thread already marked as [solved]

Thanks for your help!  I think I goofed, anyway, in posting to this distro forum. It appears I was using a different distro.

I will try bluetooth on the BL distro, shortly.

No, that's fine -- just be sure to post in Help & Support (Other) if using an operating system other than BunsenLabs or Debian jessie.
