   It took me a while hut I finally understod the eproblem.  My bluetooth   
   headphones (Bose Hearphones) connec4t but quickly disconnect***.  I've

   was connected and the inabilty to play audio through them, to set it to   
   play through them on the page where one did that. I hadn't considered   
   that they disconnected so quickly (and for no apparent reason)l
