Hey To you all !
I have these days a big problem trying to play sound on my PHILIPS Bluetooth speaker.
Ive installed Manjaro before, i installed all necessary packages, plugged my Speaker and i was good to go. Because i had no enough space on my SSD i bought one, and reinstalled Manjaro in it.
So did the same thing as before, got through BLuetoothctl, connected my BLuetooth Speaker, got to Volume Control, checked set as fellback and nothing happens, got no sound !
Ive tried everything with the Help of ChatGPT , but nothing seems to work. I have Hope in Humanity ![]()

Through my Research i discovered that the problem might have to do with output port to set to a2dp_sink, but YOu guys know better then Me !
Thanks !
