I am unable to set up a bluetooth audio device (speaker) as output for KDE sound system. Bluetooth connects without a problem, device indicates it is connected as well. Option to route sound via Bluetooth is not shown in System Settings->Multimedia->phonon-audio hardware setup. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Pair bluetooth sound output device (headet and audio sink) to KDE 2. try to change sound routing 3. option is not shown Actual Results: Not able to route sound via bluetooth Expected Results: SOund routing via bluetooth [ 5.699986] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.16 [ 5.700000] NET: Registered protocol family 31 [ 5.700002] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized [ 5.700003] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized [ 5.700004] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized [ 5.700008] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized [ 5.701098] Bluetooth: Generic Bluetooth USB driver ver 0.6 [ 5.701333] usbcore: registered new interface driver btusb [ 5.808812] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3 [ 5.808815] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast [ 5.822919] Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized [ 5.822924] Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized [ 5.822925] Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.11 Bus 003 Device 004: ID 045e:0745 Microsoft Corp.

You should use PulseAudio.
pulseaudio is used, this still happens.
adding our PulseAudio expert.
Unless I am mistaken you should see the device in the first tab not the hardware setup tab. Also that's where you'd need to change the routing.
Anyway, device does not get displayed there either.
