Bluetooth Issue(s) with fresh Debian Install

I just installed a new Debian system with KDE for my desktop. I was able to see my devices in the Bluetooth manager. I was even able to begin pairing. But the devices refused to connect. Instead I would get a generic “Protocol not available” error.

The fix:

I needed to install the `pulseaudio-module-bluetooth` package. Then I needed to restart pulseaudio.
