I have a photive BT speaker that I've used successfully with plasma on |
2 |
my Artix laptop. I can test later with my Gentoo desktop to confirm. I |
3 |
don't remember if you use pulseaudio or not, but if so, I'd check |
4 |
pavucontrol to see if it also thinks that device is active and being |
5 |
used by whatever app is producing the sound, and also that the volume |
6 |
meter is showing any output. |

Probably not relevant to you, but I've recently solved a long-standing |
9 |
problem with audio (not just BT, also wired, but mostly with the mic) |
10 |
where my system monitor (gkrellm, and specifically its gkrellmss plugin) |
11 |
had grabbed the audio device, so although pavucontrol saw that the |
12 |
device existed, it couldn't actually do anything with it, and the volume |
13 |
meter didn't even show up. Solved in the short term by just disabling |
14 |
that plugin. |
