opensuse tumbleweed 20210810 linux 5.13.8-1-default x86_64 gnome 40.3.0 The Roverbeats UNIFY by Etekcity is a bluetooth-to-analog-audio device to allow bluetooth capable devices to send audio to analog equipment. Gnome fails to properly connect to the device. The Bluetooth Settings page shows the device as connected. However, there is no listing of Unify as an Output option, nor does the Unify unit show a proper connection. Below is the journal contents from the time a bluetooth v5 dongle (Asus usb-bt500, realtek 8761b radio) was inserted into a USB port, discovered and connected successfully to a "Bose Mini ii" speaker, and failed to connect to the Unify device. The important bit is "Unable to select SEP"? Other devices (e.g., iPads, iPod) connect successfully. Is there simple way to include the Unify device in Gnome's awareness? 2021-08-18T16:01:14-0700 sma-station14l [RPM][10017]: Transaction ID 611d913a started 2021-08-18T16:01:14-0700 sma-station14l
