1. Open System Settings, and click Bluetooth > Add New Device...
2. Select device to pair.
3. Device is now available to connect.
One can use PulseAudio Volume Control or the standard volume widget to adjust volume as required.
Once the system recognizes the device, use the Bluetooth control in the system tray at the bottom right of the desktop to reconnect.
Q: Even with the output device changed, it doesn't output sound. How can I fix this?
A: One may need to change the output target. In the configuration tab of PulseAudio Volume Control, select the desired output.
Q: Sometimes the sound stutters. How might I reduce this?
A: Try increasing the latency of the output. This should increase the buffer size and reduce stuttering. Use PulseAudio Volume Control as shown.
