yesterday I tried connecting via Bluetooth to my Bose Mini Soundlink to listen to music on Clementine, and even though the connection was successful (I heard the Soundlink "click," the sound it does when it connects) Clementine continued playing music on the laptop's sound, and when I tried for instance watching a trailer on Youtube the result was the same (the sound wasn't played on the Soundlink but on the laptop).
What gives?
