Hello Denis, Thank you for your response.

What desktop environment are you using? KDE, Gnome, other >windows managers?

I am using Fluxbox 1.3.5.

Are you using PuleAudio?

No.

I have a bluetooth headphone and it works quite well. I use KDE and PulseAudio. If you use PulseAudio, I advise you to use pavucontrol (PulseAudio Volume Control).

It is very handy to know what the recognized sound cards (the >speaker will appear as an independent sound card) and how the >programs are using

I will look into installing PulseAudio on Fluxbox them. I believe the answer is installing PulseAudio after searching this keyword (I've never heard of PulseAudio, but after reading a little, I understand it's the sound server for ALSA). I appreciate your (and Gaetan's) help/insight. I am inspired. Thank you again, David On Mon, Feb 25, 2013 at 5:12 AM, Denis A. Altoé Falqueto < denisfalqueto@gmail.com> wrote:

I have followed the directions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth and have not been able have the speaker play music. I get the following so I feel sure the devices are communicating.

$ hcitool scan Scanning ... 00:1D:DF:59:66:4E G-GRIP

The next step yields:

$ sudo bluez-simple-agent Agent registered

The next step yields:

$ sudo bluez-simple-agent hci0 00:1D:DF:59:66:4E Release New device (/org/bluez/1094/hci0/dev_00_1D_DF_59_66_4E)

I am not sure what this means, but it appears to be positive however

music and have looked at the settings, to no avail. I have searched (like crazy) for a solution and have found nothing to solve this problem.

My hunch is that the speaker doesn't require a password.
