Hi Guys,
I am using a pair of Audioengine HD3 bluetooth speakers with my system. They are working perfectly. When I turn them on, they automatically pair with the system, and when I look at the output devices in the audio settings they are listed and can be selected.
This last part is what I am hoping to do something with… I’d like to find a way for the speakers to become the default output device when their bluetooth connection becomes active. Right now I have to manually select them each time I turn the speakers on, or reboot my system.
I’ve looked through the Pulse Audio and bluetooth man pages, but I can’t find a way to accomplish this…that is I don’t see a trigger / event that I can use to reconfigure the output using pacmd. (If I’ve understood correctly I need to pass pacmd move-source-output .)
Anyone have any ideas how this could be accomplished? Or, am I missing something? I something mis-configured that would allow me to make the HD3’s my default output and do change the output automatically without a user generated script?
For completeness sake, here’s my current system / audio configuration:
