Bluetooth Headphones Issues
by jasper1378 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5FCM4)
Hello all,
I recently bought a pair of Plantronics Backbeat Go 810 Bluetooth headphones. To start, Bluetooth wouldn't connect to them (or any Bluetooth headphones) at all, I fixed that through the pulseaudio-bluetooth-module method. Then they worked no problem. Fast forward to a few days later and the problems start. They connect fine and everything, but no sound comes out. I've tried the usual troubleshooting steps with pavucontrol and alsamixer but nothing worked. What's even weirder is that I have another pair of bluetooth earbuds (Jaybird X4) and they work flawlessly since I installed/reinstalled pulseaudio-module-bluetooth. The only thing that I could think of is that the Jaybirds show up as "Headphones" while the Plantronics show up as "Headset". I should mention that I'm running Debian 10. In addition I have an old laptop that also runs Debian 10 and both headphones worked on there. You guys will probably want the output of some command or other...
Thanks for the help!
