Linux noob. Just got a pair of Skull Candy Push Active XT bluetooth earbuds. They pair just fine with my setup but no sound comes through them. I found many different posts on various forums and nothing helped.

Using the inxi command I pulled some info I think might help, if it’s needed. (I don’t know if any of this is needed to help fix this issue. I’ve only been using MX for a little over a week and have never really done a lot of under the hood Linux maintenance before, but am more than willing to learn to fix this issue). If there is sny other information needed, I’m willing to edit this with any of that information, if I can find it.

    While looking through Alsa and PulseAudio I couldn’t even find the headset being listed as a connected audio device despite bluetooth saying they’re connected to my laptop, so I’d say that’s about up to par with my experience with trying to get audio working properly on Linux. The video at least has some good information I could possibly use in the future, though, so there’s that.
