Bluetooth fails to connect

[Lucrio]

I admit right off, I have no experience with Linux, or SSH, and am pretty new to Raspberry Pi. I see some threads about this but either can’t find an answer that is relevant/works for me or I’m just not fully understanding what I read.

I am trying to connect a bluetooth speaker to OSMC and have gone through the steps here but I get errors that I don’t understand and basically I’m hoping someone can take a quick look and tell me if there’s an obvious fix or something I’m screwing up. If not, not the end of the world. I do appreciate anyone taking the time to look. Thanks!

I am trying to connect a bluetooth speaker to OSMC

A2DP (audio via bluetooth) is currently broken in OSMC.
Team is working on finding
a solution but currently no light at the end of the tunnel

[Deprecated] [TESTING] Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP)

Hi, We’d like to add Bluetooth audio streaming to the App Store shortly, but first we’d like to get some feedback and testing done. Make sure your system is fully up to date, and then run the following commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install a2dp-app-osmc Note: Pairing is sometimes problematic. This is being worked on. If you experience stutters or dropouts, it may be your dongle. I personally experienced this with a couple of Bluetooth dongles and had better luck with other one…

Bluetooth audio output

Hello there, my Vero 4K just arrived! I’m trying to configure it in the same way as my ancient laptop is, that means to stream audio through bluetooth. I have read various topics in here, but still no luck. I have installed the a2dp-app-osmc package. I have managed pair with the device using bluetoothctl, but unable to connect. I have started pulseaudio using pulseaudio -D After that, I have managed to connect to the device using bluetoothctl. [BM10]# info 4C:21:D0:9F:7F:A8 Devic…

Noted. Thank you. I had seen that first link but hoped some progress had been made in the year since it was posted. Second link is new to me. Happy to hear it’s not solely my idiocy that’s responsible.

It was working quite well late last year but there was then a major upgrade and BT audio was a casualty.

Try the same sequence of commands as before when pairing but add the command default-agent as well. I managed to pair with my phone without any major problems. Playing music is another matter entirely.

[Lucrio]

I’ll give that a try when I get home. Thanks for the suggestion!

[dillthedog]

Always worth a try.

I see you’re using a Pi nano W and connecting to the network using WiFi. Be aware that there will be a chance of interference between bluetooth and WiFi since they both use 2.4 GHz.
