I heard it was under developed. yea/nay pls.

Note:
See 4th post for possible solution.

I have tried to use the JankyBT application.

Managed it to pair it with my Bluetooth speakers, whoever I never heard a sound.

Didn't try it with my headphones either.

I might have simply needed to return back to the soundcard wizard and select the Bluetooth speaker as the output device.

I get sound but with constant interruptions. I guess it is because the device emitting the bluetooth signal is an old model bluetooth V2.0 EDR Class 1

After some attempts I made it work
I've installed these packages from puppy package manager

blueman
bluez
bluez-cups
bluez-obexd
bluez-hcidump
bluez-tests
bluez-alsa
bluez-tools
libopenobex2
obexpushd
gnome-bluetooth
libgnome-bluetooth

Then I created a file bluetooth in /root/Startup with the content

#!/bin/bash
if [ -d /sys/class/bluetooth/ ]; then
/usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd --compat &
/usr/libexec/bluetooth/obexd &
blueman-applet &
fi

After restarting X, you will see bluetooth icon in the notification tray

Thanks for sharing your tips.

I did try it out and it kind of worked for me. With JankyBT I managed to pair/trust the device already.

BTW .... could not find libopenobex2 in the PPM.

I believe I must need to change a setting in the Soundcard wizard/ALSA device settings to use "Bluetooth device" for it to playback correctly.

So I'm gonna say nancy002 is an AI chatbot, due to the conversational style of their post and the fact that they just joined today. If nancy002 is a real person, my apologies.
