Bluetooth speak failed to connect. please help

[Tung_Nguyen]

Hi there, i am a complete beginner, I have RP3 and installed OSMC, the bluetooth detects my bluetooth speaker but it fails to connect.

I have read a lot of the bluetooth threads and it says that the RP3 bluetooth is now supported in OSMC, but i don’t know how to get it to work, can anyone help or point me to the right direction or article please?

If i bought a bluetooth dongle, would that be an alternative workaround? if so is there a list of OSMC supported dongles?

many thanks in advance.

Pretty sure the bluetooth dongles in the OSMC store are supported Search for the bluetooth testing thread as it is still experimental, there are some things that need to be installed.

Is this the thread?

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

ok, so I did a reboot and it didn’t come back My BT speaker turned from white to blue, Then with OSMC I did re-connect, and that worked fine (blue turned to white on BT speaker). But still no audio. Eventually, I got it back. But I needed to set the Audio back to HDMI, then reboot, then re-connect BT, then set the Audio to Bluetooth. Now it’s all fine again
