Hi dear community, I tried to connect my Bose audio speaker and I could do it but there is no audio output.
I tried to verify if the Bluetooth service is enabled and active:
sudo systemctl status bluetooth
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since Thu 2023-04-27 08:19:10 CST; 1h 10min ago

On this post (Bluetooth Audio Headphones stops randomly (no sound, still connected) - #14 by anon553421) there was the solution concerning to install manjaro-pipewire and agree to remove pulseaudio:
sudo pacman -Rdd pulseaudio pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-ctl pulseaudio-equalizer pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-modules-bt pulseaudio-rtp pulseaudio-zeroconf
sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire
sudo pacman -Rsn $(sudo pacman -Qdtq)
I gave it a shot but still no sound on my speaker.
