Hi there. I am a retired computer programmer who has recently purchased
a Grado GW100x pair of bluetooth headphones. I have an older Dell XPS13
computer dual booting between Windows 10 (rarely) and 64 bit
Slackware15. If I boot into Windows 10 the headphones connect perfectly,
but under Slackware I get the message: "the setup of Grado GW100x has
failed". About a week ago I installed a new version of Bluez from
Slackware but the problem remains. I don't know how to even debug the
problem. People at the LinuxQuestions forum suggested switching from
Pulseaudio to Pipewire, which made no sense to me, but I gave it a try.
I get the same result. Perhaps you can help.
