I’m having an issue with a BT speaker, well Guitar amp. actually. (BOSS Katana Mini X)
Device is a Microsoft Surface Pro 7.
It connects, but it wont play any sound at all. I’m now at the point where I’m considering installing W11 on that Surface again just so I can connect it to my amp to play some guitar with backing tracks and whatnot. I hate using my phone for this.
- Speaker is chosen as the output device.
- Tried to switch to PipeWire
- Installed Blueman and a Pulse Audio interface
- Also tried this on Fedora 41(GNOME)
- Bluetooth earbuds from JBL works fine and get normal sound
- I have installed the kernel for Surface devices, but I also tested this BEFORE installing that and there has been no difference on both Ubuntu and Fedora.
What I notice is there’s only two configs I can chose from on the settings for the amp as an output device, instead of the long list I have on other devices. Possible cause?
I have that one already, I’m gonna try the other one real quick!

Well if it doesn’t show as a valid output devices there’s your problem. You might want to start searching on how to use pipewire configs to force it into being a properly advertised output device.
It shows up as a normal output(if that’s what you mean)
The two configs I get for it are both A2DP Sink, but difference is SBC or SBC-XQ.
I dunno if that tells you anything
