How to create an audio VM (sys-audio) and have Bluetooth audio support in it?

I’ve tried every possible way to connect my Bluetooth headphones to my AppVM in Qubes OS, but with no success. I’ve also followed old tutorials from the forum, but to no avail. Bluetooth pairs, but the default audio still comes from dom0. I’ve attempted to follow some guides here to create my own sys-audio so that audio would be handled by it instead of dom0, but I’ve failed because (I believe) all the existing tutorials are for versions prior to 4.2 and aren’t complete or beginner-friendly. I don’t want to just copy random commands from a forum and paste them into dom0, I’d like to do everything as graphically as possible and only use the terminal when absolutely necessary.

I don’t even understand why there isn’t already a pre-configured sys-audio by default in Qubes OS, it seems like something essential.

As far as I remember I used this guide and it worked very well: Audio qube

By far the easiest way I’ve ever managed to get this work is @ben-grande 's salt formula: qusal/salt/sys-audio at main · ben-grande/qusal · GitHub
