I did not use bluetooth on a Linux system before, but I would like to use it right now. I tried to use it and it didn't work at all. Here are some information:

          As suggested in Linux Mint forum, you can try the following:



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