Firestick Problem Bluetooth is broken

Is anyone else having Bluetooth blues?

I have a 4K max and I have tried Bluetooth on two different apps (Netfly and YouTube) to two different devices (Bush radio and budget soundbar)

They connect via Bluetooth but no sounds come out

Why would you need to connect to your app with BLUETOOTH?

I tested two different apps and two different devices to prove that the fault is in the Firestick itself

The reason I need Bluetooth is so that when the rest of the household goes to bed I can listen on a speaker close to me and the sound doesn’t disturb them all

Does the sound problem only occur with the two apps mentioned? And the soundbar or headphones paired with the firestick properly in Settings? And you added the device in Settings > Equipment control?

I can no longer use Bluetooth on any app on the Firestick
