yes, the ubuntu forums(?) are full of stuff. BT sound is apparently a real PITA across the board.Originally posted by b0redom View Post
the various sound subsystems (ALSA,Jack,pulseaudio,pipewire etc.) don't exactly help either.
I've given my mate the laptop back (with jack/jack cable*), but i'm still researching this, out of sheer bloodymindedness**
Thanks for all your input,
much appreciated.
*real audio jacks.

****update
if anyone's interested, BT sound is sh1te on linux.
if it works, give it one update/5 minutes/one look away from screen, and it won't anymore.
it's flakeyer than a dev's dandruff!

as for Apple, - stuff 'em!
I've been an engineer* forever it seems, and this issue is well known in Linux circles.
so, unless you have something positive to contribute, i strongly suggest that you wind your little gnomish neck in.
