speaker Bluetooth not working [Solved]

[damians]

Hello I reinstalled MX Linux Xfce on my PC, but now when I connect the PC to the Bluetooth speaker, no sound comes out.
The connection via bluetooth is made but no sound comes out of the speaker.

Please--as always--paste in the output of Menu > Quick System Info, clicking the buttom "Copy for Forum" and just paste it in.

Did you go through the usual steps?

• Confirm that an external speaker is on and enabled
• Left-click the speaker icon in the systray and use the pull-down menu to change from default “Built-in Audio etc.” to the external speaker.
• Test by playing a streaming site, an installed music app such as audacious or another source
• Adjust volume by scrolling up or down while holding the cursor over the speaker icon
• If problems arise, left-click the speaker icon again and click “Audio mixer.” Start a music source, and click on the mixer’s “Output Devices” or “Playback” tab to change settings.

Of course, essentially after connecting to the Bluetooth speaker you have to right-click in the Systray volume icon at the bottom right and in the menu choose the external speaker.
