I use a MercuryBox and this worked for me... (from an article not mine, but this sub won't let me link to it):

also no fucking clue why Voat makes every number into a 1. so bizarre.

  1. Getting ready

Install the bluez-tools package on your Linux computer (assuming it is Debian-based):

$ sudo apt-get install bluez-tools

Power up the Panasonic soundbar. Make sure that Bluetooth is selected as the audio source, and that the device is configured to be discoverable to other Bluetooth devices. The soundbar and the Linux laptop must be within a "short" distance of each other (10 feet to be safe).

  1. Connection procedure

The following assumes you have only one Bluetooth adapter in your Linux computer. If you have more than 1, use the hciconfig command to find out the name of the Bluetooth adapter to use for connection, and specify that device name as a parameter to the commands below.

  1. Discover the soundbar.

Run the following command on Linux to scan for the soundbar. The key piece of data to jot down is the Bluetooth address of the soundbar (e.g., 00:0B:97:0F:C5:2D).

$ bt-adapter -d Searching... [00:0B:97:0F:C5:2A] Name: SC-HTB450 Alias: SC-HTB450 Address: 00:0B:97:0F:C5:2D Icon: audio-card Class: 0x240404 LegacyPairing: 0 Paired: 0 RSSI: -56 Done

You can also scan using the hcitool command:

$ hcitool scan Scanning ... 00:0B:97:0F:C5:2D SC-HTB450

  1. Pair with the soundbar.

This step is only necessary if the 2 devices have never been "paired" before.

To pair, run the bt-device command with the Bluetooth address from step 1 as the parameter.

$ bt-device -c 00:0B:97:0F:C5:2D Connecting to: 00:0B:97:0F:C5:2D Agent registered Agent released Done

You can verify the result by listing the paired devices:

$ bt-device -l Added devices: SC-HTB450 (00:0B:97:0F:C5:2D)

  1. Connect audio output to soundbar.

$ bt-audio -c 00:0B:97:0F:C5:2D Connecting to an audio service Audio service is connected

You can verify the connection by querying information about the Bluetooth device name (SC-HTB450). Note that the output contains a line with Connected equals 1 (meaning success!)

$ bt-device -i SC-HTB450 [00:0B:97:0F:C5:2A] Name: SC-HTB450 Alias: SC-HTB450 [rw] Address: 00:0B:97:0F:C5:2D Icon: audio-card Class: 0x240404 Paired: 1 Trusted: 0 [rw] Blocked: 0 [rw] Connected: 1 UUIDs: [AudioSink, AVRemoteControl]

  1. Make soundbar a trusted device.

After the soundbar is turned off and then on again, the Bluetooth audio connection is NOT automatically reconnected. To make re-connection automatic, run the following command to designate the soundbar as a trusted device.

$ bt-device --set SC-HTB450 Trusted 1 Trusted: 0 -> 1

*Note that if you reboot your laptop, you need to manually re-connect using bt-audio -c as shown above (but pairing can be skipped). This is true even when the Bluetooth device is designated as trusted.

note the trusted step, that is essential or else you will see the speaker but not be able to actually use it.

if that isnt working my guess would be it has something to do with ARM

The numbers getting turned into '1's is related to how lists are created in the shorthand. If observe:

  1. Hello

Hi

  1. How are you

I'm doing well

  1. What's new?

Not much

versus

1.) Hello

Hi!

2.) How are you?

I'm doing well

3.) What's new?

Not much

I mean I've already noticed that if you did 1) 2) it didnt break, but is there an actual reason why it does this with a period or is it just a bug
