That's a pulseaudio/alsa problem depending on what you have on your
system. So pactl or alsamixer will be an intermediate tool for you to
use to adjust output. A primary command to run for output is aplay -l
since that will tell you about all available devices. What I would do
is first shut the bluetooth speaker off and run aplay -l and check
output. Then turn on bluetooth speaker and make sure bluetooth speaker
is paired and run aplay -l again. See if the output is any different.
If so, you probably know which speaker to set as the default. Next,
study pactl (good luck figuring out their terminology) and learn how to
use that if you have pulseaudio installed on your system. If not, you
don't have to deal with pactl or pacmd. Next study alsamixer and if you
don't have pulseaudio installed, adjust your speaker with alsamixer and
test with speakertest once adjusted with connected speakers attached and
on. If the connected speakers are silent but your bluetooth speaker
runs then run alsactl store as root and then reboot and if all works
well, your problem is solved.

Subject: making a bluetooth speaker work
Hi,
I am running Ubuntu 16.04 on an Intel NUC PPYH.
I have been using a regular speaker on it, but I want to use an Anker pocket
Bluetooth Speaker.
I got it found and configured from the Bluetooth manager, and in sound in
control center, I can test it fine.
But I cannot get system sounds or Orca to speak from it, the audio only comes
through connected speaker.
So how does one get it to default to the bluetooth speaker?
As mentioned, it works, as the left and right test sounds come from it, but
that is the only thing I can get it to do so far.
Thanks for any assistance.
Glenn
