Bluetooth error

[misterblack0101]

I am having trouble connecting my bluetooth earphones in linux mint 19(cinammon).
I have boult audio curve, and my earphone connects to my laptop, but there's no sound from my earphones, or laptop.
Also, when i try to play any audio file with the earphones connected, the file simply won't play, and my earphone starts vibrating!!

Hi misterblack0101.

I just successfully used Bluetooth for the first time last night, and apart from the vibrating issue, sounds like you're having the same trouble I did at first.

This is probably all you need to do. In the terminal enter:

Code: Select all

apt install pavucontrol pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

Followed by:

Code: Select all

pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover

Now while something is playing sound, type pavucontrol in the terminal, go to the Playback tab, and click on the box that probably says "Built-in Audio..." and change to your Bluetooth earphones.

Good luck.

misterblack0101@BLACKS-PC:~$ pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
Failure: Module initialization failed
misterblack0101@BLACKS-PC:~$


The first command works perfectly fine, but the second command shows this error. I went to pavucontrol
menu, but boult audio was already selected.
Problem still remains

See if the fix on this page sorts that out for you.

A reboot or log out/in might be worth a try as well.
