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
