Setup Bluetooth for Headset
I would like to get sound to my headset.
I have jessie running. Watching youtube, I could hear the sound. I install bluetooth so I could listen on my Plantronics Legend. The installation went fine including pairing and reporting that the Legend was connected.
I do not hear anything from the headset. I cannot hear anything over the speakers now.
To test the headset, I ran:
mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth /home/ray4/Downloads/Symphony.mp3
it produced:
MPlayer2 2.0-728-g2c378c7-4+b1 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team
