sudo pactl set-card-profile 2 a2dp_sink

use pactl set-card-profile 2 a2dp_sink without sudo

As written here

Problem with bluetooth headphones

my bad, drop the sudo, pactl list sources short pactl set-card-profile <n> a2dp_sink If you have a chance, can you please run bluetoothctl then once in bluetoothctl info AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF Where AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF is your headphones mac address. this will give a bit of output, part of which will be a UUID: table, just curious to see if Headset shows up in that list before Audio Sink. Forget that, Just saw in your earlier post, 00001108 < 0000110b So the Headset Profile is connected first…

Aaaaah! That was the case! Thanks a lot.

Hi guys

i am currently trying to use my headphones with my Vero 4k+.

At the moment using the osmc GUI, pairing is not working.

I tried to read all the information on this topic but this is a little bit confusing.

So my understanding is:

With vero 4k + I don’t need a dongle, correct ?

If pairing does not work, I need to use command line (using bluetooth command)

If pairing is ok and connected, i need to switch in the audio setting to use bluetooth or Pulse or ?

This new setting comes because there is a new device connected or do I need to perform something ?

Thank you for your help

[grahamh]

You need to install the a2dp app as described above. Then you should be able to connect with MyOSMC or bluetoothctl. Then select Pulseaudio sound server.

@Yvan

This new setting comes because there is a new device connected or do I need to perform something ?

Did you install the a2dp package?

@sam_nazarko

sudo apt-get install a2dp-app-osmc

After that connection should be possible and the new option for audio will show up.
If your headphones register as headset you might need one more step to change the sink (but we can review that after you connect).

[Yvan]

Hi

As usual your answer are fast. Thank you

Did you install the a2dp package?

Yes. I had to stop and start osmc to be able to pair my headphones. My headphones told me that I am connected

In the OSMC GUI seems to be ok

in system settings audio i switch to something like Pulse audio server

At the moment I have no sound but this is the first test.

@Yvan

At the moment I have no sound but this is the first test.

Then your problem seems the headset issue. Check this thread

Problem with bluetooth headphones

Im no guru, but, From your output… bluetoothd[254]: Unable to get io data for Headset Voice gateway: getpeername: Transport endpoint is not connected (107) I think its trying to handle the bluetooth connection in the HSP/HFP profile. I had a similar problem, discussed in the below. It might help to read through that, the symptoms are slightly different but given its trying to get data for HSP/HFP and the audio quality is low it sounds to me that the core issue is the same. if the headphon…

[Yvan]

Ok i have the sound.

Question

Now I can switch in the audio settings to use the standard speaker and i want to come back to my headphones i will have to re do these commands ?

Again thank you for your help patience and hope everything is ok at home for you

[fzinken]

@Yvan

Now I can switch in the audio settings to use the standard speaker and i want to come back to my headphones i will have to re do these commands ?

No, normally when your headset is disconnected sound will go to HDMI. If you switch your headset on it should auto connect and sound should switch to Bluetooth

Hello, osmc community. Really difficult to find in this thread something to create working solution.

I propose to separate topic on two branches:

1. OSMC to Bluetooth speakers streaming
2. From Bluetooth to OSMC (jack 3.5mm or hdmi streaming)

What do you think?

[sam_nazarko]

The solution to both of these still involves installing the same package.

[feodosij]

Thanks for reply!
I have been installed sudo apt-get install a2dp-app-osmc
And see ALSA audio as for audio output. (Osmc to BT)
But do not find how to stream from Bluetooth to jack (BT to Osmc)

Updated:
Just paired device. And its worked!!!

Hi @sam_nazarko

I am using a RPi 3 with my Teufel Stereo L speakers connected via Bluetooth. I am streaming a movie from my Plex server over the Plex plugin (but this also happens when streaming straight from OSMC) and the sound is lagging behind a little, just enough so it gets annoying once you catch on. Is there any way how this could be improved? How can I check if it is due to the BT connection? Over 3.5mm jack it works w/o issues but I don’t like cables

Cheers

[sam_nazarko]

You will find better performance using an external Bluetooth dongle.

After poring over multiple posts for the better part of the past 2 days with little progress, I am hoping someone would be able to help me out here

The Issue :

After the connection is established there was no sound in the headphones. As suggested in another post, went to change the audio sink to headphone, But…

osmc@osmc:~$ pactl list sources short 
0       alsa_output.platform-soc_audio.analog-stereo.monitor    module-alsa-card.c      s16le 2ch 44100Hz       SUSPENDED
osmc@osmc:~$ pactl list cards short
 0       alsa_card.platform-soc_audio    module-alsa-card.c

The bluetooth entry wasn’t showing at all. Did some more digging and as per another post, changed audio output to ALSA:Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server. After that the above source status changed from SUSPENDED to IDLE, but still no sound.

0       alsa_output.platform-soc_audio.analog-stereo.monitor    module-alsa-card.c      s16le 2ch 44100Hz       SUSPENDED

0       alsa_output.platform-soc_audio.analog-stereo.monitor    module-alsa-card.c      s16le 2ch 48000Hz       IDLE

I couldn’t find anymore details that could help me troubleshoot this any further. I did find the below from dmesg

I also tried to connect a JBL Go 2 bluetooth speaker to see if that would connect, but for some reason it disconnected immediately after connecting. My primary goal is to get my headphones working, so I’ll stick to troubleshooting that for now

Edit: kodi.log

Using the built-in BT module

There had been indifferent results been achieved with the built-in module, best to use an external dongle.

Your pactl list sources short doesn’t look right there are no bluez entries at all.

Yep, am aware of this, but was trying my luck here to see how far I can go.

I did notice that. It was different from other logs in the various posts and I was hoping there is something else amiss here

Yes, it was through command line. Logs below

I saw Apr 10 10:08:05 osmc bluetoothd[460]: a2dp-sink profile connect failed for CC:98:8B:B1:8B:84: Protocol not available
That could be part of the problem

But seems same for the JBL, a2dp-sink profile connect failed for 70:99:1C:08:6F:F5: Protocol not available

Did you try after a reboot?

If you don’t get it running I could try tomorrow to remove my dongle and try the built-in for my Pi3

I did reboot when trying this earlier, but rebooting again now

@fzinken

sometimes I needed to purge the whole bluetooth setup and reinstall it.

How do I do that?

@fzinken

That could be part of the problem

Both of them are pretty new and I would be surprised if they didn’t support a2dp. I looked up the tech spec and both supports a2dp. In the new logs I don’t see this error.

@fzinken

Did you try after a reboot?

Tried it again now, see logs above. Here is grab-logs -A

dmesg looks good too, but no progress with the issue though

How do I do that?

'sudo apt-get remove --purge a2dp-app-osmc bluetooth bluez pulseaudio-module-bluetooth`

@nokia3660

Both of them are pretty new and I would be surprised if they didn’t support a2dp. I looked up the tech spec and both supports a2dp. In the new logs I don’t see this error.

Well I wasn’t pointing to the speakers, I was pointing to the controller not supporting it.
Might check out my Pi3 later today without my BT Dongle.
