@Mykle1 Awesome, I’m glad it worked out in the end.

RE: No Country (Bluetooth) For Old Men
@Mykle1 Getting close.
Run pulseaudio --start then try the speaker thing again. -
RE: No Country (Bluetooth) For Old Men
@Mykle1 Can you try the right click on the speaker icon now to see if it works?

RE: No Country (Bluetooth) For Old Men
@Mykle1 try the command line instead of the gui to pair your speaker.
Run bluetoothctl in terminal.
Then type:
power on
Default-agent
Agent on
Scan on
then see if bluetoothct sees the speaker. -
RE: No Country (Bluetooth) For Old Men
@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. -
RE: No Country (Bluetooth) For Old Men
@Mykle1 you might have to be remove (forget) the speaker on your pi bluetooth and restart the pi again once you remove blueman.

RE: No Country (Bluetooth) For Old Men
@Mykle1 If you’re on jessie (with pixel), keep reading this post. I think you mentioned you have blueman installed. You don’t need blueman anymore. I would recommend getting rid of it. Pixel comes with pi-bluetooth which is supposed to make things easier for audio. Notice how you have 2 bluetooth icons in your taskbar? They could be conflicting.
Please also see this link https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/another-update-raspbian/ for how to connect the speaker. It should work.
Of course do back up your card in case something goes wrong.Raspbian Stretch also changed some stuff about bluetooth, maybe take a look at that if you have a spare sd card lying around. I personally haven’t tried it yet.

@Mykle1
What’s your exact issue? Does it work then gets disconnected?
I struggled a lot with bluetooth audio on the pi3. In the end I had to disable the onboard chip and use a usb dongle.
Edit:
From your screenshots it looks like it’s connected. Apprently the correct way to connect the speaker once you device is paired is to right click on the speaker icon on the right then select your bluetooth speaker(It should be listed there).
