I was trying to use a bluetooth earbud (Jabra brand) last night with
the RasPBX presentation, but I was unable to get the sound to come out
of the earpiece. Has anyone else had a similar difficulty and did you
find a work-around?

Thanks,

So not with jitsi but with every other online meeting ...

Doing L3 tech support for Red Hat, I'm often joining just about every major online meeting ...  Gmeet, teams, webex, and bomgar 

I have a poly headset that does Bluetooth or it's own dongle. I specifically have to configure the meeting software to use the headset.
If I don't it doesn't always resume the connection for the next meeting.

I just bought a wired headset for this reason. All I have to do is plug in the headset for the meeting and the defaults work fine.

I'm running fedora on everything. I found a package that would create a virtual sound device and then you could add your speakers plugged into the headphone / audio out Jack + the Bluetooth.  I didn't have much luck with it but didn't have a whole lot of time to play around with it.

Sound is probably my biggest pet peeve at the moment.

My 1/8" headphone jack on the front of my desktop case didn't work.
  • Verified the connector was plugged in from motherboard to front jack
  • Bought new motherboard
  • Bought new front panel and connecting cables
  • Still doesn't work
In the Audio Settings on my Debian 12 desktop, I can see headphone jack as an option, but the sound still only comes out of the speakers (audio-out jacks in the back).  HOWEVER, if I plug my USB-C headphones into the same front panel, they show up in the settings and when I select them, they work fine.

Somewhat different topic: I'm convinced my audio behaves differently with an NVIDIA card installed than without.  I strongly suspect NVIDIA drivers handle sound differently.  More dynamic range.  Different algorithm for separating or mixing the center channel with the other channels.
