Playing Music on Bluetooth Speaker artis BT 15 through SD Card.

As mentioned on previous post I bought artis BT 15 Bluetooth Speaker mainly to use with my mobile phone since its sound output is less.

The Bluetooth Speaker also has micro SD Card slot to play the songs on SD Card without connecting with any phone or Laptop.

I had one micro SD Card and SD Adapter to mount it on Laptop. After mounting the card it got mounted as read only.

I checked the Adapter and it had a hardware lock switch to write protect it. After putting the switch in unlock position it got mounted as rw.

I copied the Music Folder with its contents from the Laptop on the micro SD Card.

After inserting the card in the slot on Bluetooth Speaker I could play the songs on the Speaker.

Now I don't need any mobile or Laptop to play those songs.

Connecting Bluetooth Speakers for sound output on Ubuntu 16.04

I bought Bluetooth Speker artis BT15 mainly to use with my mobile Coolpad Mega 2.5D since the output volume of the phone for playing Jio TV is very less.

After using with the phone I thought to check it with Laptop although Laptop speakers are good enough.

I could pair and connect the Bluetooth Speaker and it was showing in System_Settings/Sound/Output as "Headset BT15" and I selected it but the Music was still playing through Laptop Speakers.

After searching askubuntu I got the solution:

1. Change #AutoEnable=false to AutoEnable=true in the /etc/bluetooth/main.conf (notice new line is un-commented)
2. Unpair the headset
3. Restart the bluetooth service sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
4. Pair your headset again and connect it
5. Go to sound settings. From the output device tab you should now see the headset listed along with other output device like internal speakers
6. Choose it as the sound output device.
