From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Bluetooth Help (MX Linux Plasma, kernel 6.1.0-13) (lemm.ee)

Linux noob. Just got a pair of Skull Candy Push Active XT bluetooth earbuds. They pair just fine with my setup but no sound comes through them. I found many different posts on various forums and nothing helped.

Using the inxi command I pulled some info I think might help, if it's needed. (I don't know if any of this is needed to help fix this issue. I've only been using MX for a little over a week and have never really done a lot of under the hood Linux maintenance before, but am more than willing to learn to fix this issue). If there is sny other information needed, I'm willing to edit this with any of that information, if I can find it.

not sure your exact case, but I would highly recommend using pipewire, Bluetooth audio devices were nothing but pain for me with pulse audio and they just worked on pipewire

I've used Sony xm4s

It looks like you're still using PulseAudio? I'd highly recommend switching to PipeWire+WirePlumber instead, installing it should make your earbuds work automatically.

Follow the installation instructions here: https://wiki.debian.org/PipeWire#Debian_12

I'm only using PulseAudio because that was what came with the base installation. I'll definitely check out PipeWire+WirePlumber to see if that works.

Did you follow https://wiki.debian.org/BluetoothUser/a2dp ?

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

No because I didn't know it existed until right now, reading your comment. I'll be sure to check it out.
