I really can’t wait to try your suggestions. I have other household matters to take care of first (says the wife). I will report back to you later when I’ve tried. Many thanks for your input and advice!

Finally finished working my butt off today. Now, I take a stab at your suggestions. Wish me luck!

Just to clarify, pulseaudio stays? I’ve removed Blueman

@Mykle1
Ya. Pulseaudio stays. -

Ok, I thought so. I’ll have an update in a little while

@Mykle1 you might have to be remove (forget) the speaker on your pi bluetooth and restart the pi again once you remove blueman.

I haven’t tried that. Pairing doesn’t seem to be my problem. The speaker pairs automatically.
Let me explain my sequence and result
The first thing I have to do is RUN start-pulseaudio-x11 because I don’t have it in startup yet. This enables the Volume Control where I clearly see the speaker connected.
Click on the Bluetooth icon and again, I see the speaker is paired
Right click the Volume icon and I see the speaker but it is not chosen yet.
Following the directions of the link you gave, I click on HMDX in the drop down menu of the volume icon, but this is the result
My pulseaudio is up to date.
I’ll remove the speaker and add it again if you think that will help

As it turns out, that was a bad idea. Now the Pi does not see the speaker.
-
@Mykle1 Sorry to hear it’s not working.
When you reboot try it without running the start-pulseaudio-x11 command. If that doesn’t work, I’m lost.
Iirc, when I set mine up, I paired the speaker, then did the right click on the speaker icon to change it to the bluetooth speaker. -
I can’t try anything right now. The Pi doesn’t see the speaker since I removed it. I can’t add it because it doesn’t appear in the Add Device window
