The bluetooth speakers are recognized by pulse audio as headset.

When I start blueman-applet as root I get the following error

When I start blueman-applet as user I have to give my user id two times then I get the following error

With the icon in the tray I select setup new device and speaker is recognized. Attempt to connect on serial returns message "Device added successfully bu failed to connect".

Also tried with headset and audio sink. Still no sound from the speaker. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Can you show the output of the following commands ran as your regular user please?

Code: Select all

rpm -qa|grep pulseaudio|sort
pactl list modules | grep "Name:"

You may also need to install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

And please don't run stuff as root. You need to connect to your user's dbus session, and there's usually no user dbus session for root.
You can also try to get some more information via bluetoothctl, see e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth#Pairing for some hints.

As I was typing this it just started to work. I have no idea what happened. Should I make this as solved?
