What's up with Bluetooth !?
by joboy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5P3TE)
This problem keeps bugging me for many years since the day BT first introduced. I started using BT headsets for cell phone long before the first smartphone released, there are always connection problem, and the problem carry onto Linux. I used a BT speaker, it connected and tested ok on Debian with Cinnamon and Mate desktop, test in sound preference all fine, but nothing playback with sound, no matter it is a Youtube video or a local MP3 all muted, reboot doesn't fix that !?
Remember in the 'old days' all cellphone has a Infrared sensor built in for data communications, and I used IR to connect my PDA for internet no problem only slow, BT was designed to replace IR and can do much more, but simply a reliable connection is lacking how can I use that, file transfer also 50/50 chance worked on Linux that really sucks !
