Trying to have a USB Bluetooth adapter to work

Hello all,

I am new to Linux and here , and bought a 2nd hand bunsenlabs NUC machine that I'm having fun using and discovering.

Right now I bought a Logilink USB Bluetooth V4.0 dongle and would like to have it work with my bunsenlabs install.

I tried to follow the steps in https://www.maketecheasier.com/setup-bl … -in-linux/ but I can't have it work, maybe someone can help me here.
The pairing seems to work (not sure how I managed that...) but no sound is coming out of my loudspeaker.

Thank a lot !
Cheers
Stephan

...but I can't have it work...

Please be more explicit

eg Did you install the required packages? Does the bluetooth manager gui run? Are devices listed?

Perhaps a Debian-specific HowTo would be more appropriate...https://wiki.debian.org/BluetoothUser

I did these:
sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez bluez-tools rfkill
and it worked.

Then I did this
sudo rfkill list
and no bluetooth was blocked

Then I ran this
sudo service bluetooth start
and the service seems to be running.

Have you tried pairing the devices yet?

And via bluetooth manager you may need to add the device (speaker) as a trusted device
