    [RESOLVED] Kubuntu - Sonos & Bluetooth Audio Channel Issues

    Greetings!

    I'm a recent Kubuntu convert and have been doing lots of research regarding easily connecting to my Sonos Bluetooth Speaker for playing Computer Sound.
    I've tried multiple workarounds and reported solutions but no matter what I try, my Bluetooth Sonos speaker does NOT appears on the list of Audio Output devices.

    Pipewire only shows my PC speakers but I have been able to use the unofficial Sonos application to play music through appimages.
    However, getting the Bluetooth to then recognize the Computer Audio and play that Audio stream appears not possible?

    Is this a KDE or Pipewire limitation itself, I've tried mkchromecast but the application crashes on 24.0.4 LTS.
    Easy Effects appears to pick up the Audio Driver just fine but it never recognizes my Sonos as an Audio Option.
    Blueman clearly picks up the Bluetooth device but then that device never appears in the Audio Output Devices.

    Is this a VPN/Firewall issue with limitation of IP connect?
    Appreciate any additional Applications that may solve this?

    Actually, was able to find a similar post and solution here on the Forum:

    Was a blend of PulseAudio update and also Reboot of Speaker connections via Blueman
