Bluetooth headphones will not work with certain programs
by Uncleoilybag from LinuxQuestions.org on (#59S0K)
I use Linux Mint 20 and have successfully installed JACK which thanks to Cadence works well in conjuction with PulseAudio.
Subsequently I was so pleased with myself when I manged how to get my bluetooth headphones working thanks to posts on this forum.
I tend to use the CLI programs 'alsamixer' and 'pulsemixer' to control all my volume needs.
So my bluetooth headphones ( yes I have 3 different brands - all work ) well with Audacity, Celluliod, Zoom, - all the 'usual' audio visual programs BUT ....OH NO ....DISASTER.... I can't get them to work with:-
Oh yes these programs work well through the laptop speakers or WIRED headphones but not bluetooth.
Could anyone point me in the correct direction?

- Frescobaldi ( front end for Lilypond)
- Rosgarden ( My favourite DAW)
