I got TDE installed, I am using the same user account as I was Plasma 6.
I installed Blueman, deleted my speaker's connection, paired it to blueman.
But instead of sound coming from the bluetooth Alexa speaker, I am only getting sound from the internal speaker.
HELP!
I've looked in KMIX and don't see anything about switching to bluetooth for sound output!
Thanks,
Chris

As far as I know TDE is *not* controlling sound output. Kmix - if it works - simply lets you regulate the sound on whatever output you have. Trinity is a Desktop environment.
You don't say what distribution you use, but it's there that you can find a way to access your bluetooth hardware. Probably look for PulseAudio or Alsa settings.
I can't help there - I never used bluetooth. Here I use a USB sound card, Pulse Audio controls it, kmix does not.

Very likely a Pipewire issue. Wouldn't be rare.

ALSA always worked for me. IMO PulseAudio was a step backward; and PipeWire has been a Giant step backward. And now many user-level applications are starting to depend on these (IMO) broken packages.
