I’m new to this forum so if I’m doing anything wrong, please let me know.

I have a Linux server running debian 12.7.

I have a problem with my bluetooth speaker attached to this server.

I’ve prepaired and connected a bluetooth speaker under a certain user (pi) and while in session, the speaker works great. Problem is: as soon as the user logs off, the speaker drops off disconnecting from bluetooth. As soon as I logon again, it will reconnect.

Background processes still running under the account, can no longer reach the bluetooth speaker then.

I also tried to schedule the playing of a mp3 file from crontab every minute. While logged on as user pi, the crontab causes the mp3 file to be played on the speaker. As soon as I logoff, it stops being played.

pi@debian12-pve:~ $ bluetoothctl
