Bookmem Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I'm finding that Linux Mint is becoming a real PITA. I'm old and hard of hearing and have a real problem hearing TV dialog. So I invested in a sound bar that has designed specially to enhance it. Works great with Windows 11 but Mint 21.2 doesn't recognize it.

Works great with Windows 11 but Mint 21.2 doesn't recognize it. Seems like a lot of Mint users have had bluetooth problems in the last year. You have probably tried all of these, sudo systemctl enable --now bluetooth. You have to be a member of a certain group but I have lost the link that details which one. Could be a problem with which kernel you have , updating to a newer kernel may help. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=404637 May be a conflict with pipewire and pulse, one solution claimed that swapping from one to the fixed the problem https://wiki.debian.org/BluetoothUser/a2dp A extra program may help Howto install bluetuith to manage bluetooth connections Or this may help How to fix “Bluetooth device doesn’t auto-connect” in Linux Edited February 28 by abarbarian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
