I have an onboard VIA sound card but no speakers attached. Instead, I want to use my bluetooth headset as my only sound device, both input and output (mono).

I plugged in the bt dongle and was impressed that it was ready to use within seconds. I then paired it to my Jabra BT500 headset. No problems so far.

I then went to Sound Preferences but no bluetooth is listed, only the onboard VIA sound card.

Question:
How can I enable my headset, and make it the default all the time?
