On EOS I have the bluetooth working for my Audio speaker in my lab because
my monitor doesn't support audio very well.  The bluetooth Jambox worked
fine for that.  I tried a USB powered speaker and that worked.

On debian 12 I use the USB speaker only so far.  I can test the BT jambox.

I also tested Linux Mint 22 beta which uses Ubuntu 24.04 as a base.  The
newer firmware fixed a lot of stuff.  The Debian 12 on 12.06 iso has
everything that the N100 needed.
