[Discuss] bluetooth

[gaf.linux at gmail.com (Jerry Feldman)]

I use an Avantree audio adapter connected to the optical output on my TV.

either a transmitter or receiver. I've connected it to my headphones and
earbuds. You have to press a button to pair, but normally when I turn on
the headphones to watch tv, they connect.
