How to get bluetooth to show up in audio devices? - philip2809 - 2023-12-17
I can't get my bluetooth speaker to show up in audio devices, it is an JBL Flip 6, Connected both over bluetoothctl but also by trying the Kodi Bluetooth Manager.
pacmd list-sinks gives me:

I have asked for help here before, about my HDMI sound problems with the TV but I have given up on that.

If you use kodi with pulseaudio it displays all devices known / available to pulseaudio.

How do I use kodi with pulseaudio? How can I veryify that? I have both pulseaudio and alsa on the system, should I remove ALSA?

Post a Debug Log of your running kodi.
