My headphones are connected to bluetooth, but I'm unable to use them as an output device.
None of the threads on this topic seemed to help.
ZorinOS 18.1
Thats strange, so there is no option in Pulse Audio app to set them as output?
I also use an extension method, that I've been informed, is already in Zorin OS 18 now, through the system menu on the far right of taskbar...
You say your Bluetooth device is connected, double check in Bluetooth app.
Also, just incase your running in Wayland, (which is default for OS 18) Logout or restart your computer, click on your name on the login screen, then click the gear icon bottom right of screen. Switch your desktop environment, to Xorg AKA X11, not Wayland. Often Wayland causes issues, hopefully Xorg will be the fix as well for you.

I logged out - now both Wayland and Xorg work fine. I was doing an assignment and couldn't test it until now. Thanks for your help. I'm new to Linux and there are some quirks I'm still learning about.
