UPDATE: After hours and dozens of fixes it simple does not work. The Boss Katana Mini X seems to be completely incompatible with Linux. I’m gonna install Windows again on my Surface. W11 works like dogshit on it but at least I can use it to connect to my guitar amp.
Leaving the thread open in case a solution does eventually appear.
OP:
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?
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
