Bluetooth Audio output (Transmitter)
This works 90% of the time, but not always.
So treat it as in development. Well after some digging, I finally got Xbian to output the audio stream from a bluetooth dongle to a bluetooth headset (I guess it should be the same for headphones) (This was done on a RPi2 with the DEVEL sources) - but shouldn't make a difference. 1) Install the necessary packages Terminal sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-bluetooth bluez-firmware NB: bluez-firmware should only be required if your dongle is a based on a BCM203x chipset Reboot 2) Now connect the bluetooth device (This is similar to a keyboard, but no password is required. Check the adapter has been found. Something like this should show up. Terminal xbian@xbian ~ $ lsusb Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) Bus 001 Device 004: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMSC9512/9514 Fast Ethernet Adapter Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp. Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Now scan for the adaptor - make sure it is turned on and is in discover mode. Terminal xbian@xbian ~ $ hcitool scan Scanning ... 94:CE:2C:FA:1A:C7 SBH20 Now in Xbian System --> System -> Audio Output, select "Playback recording through the PulseAudio sound server" This will ensure the pulseaudio is running check with ps -ef|grep -i pulse Sometimes there are two instances running. If that is the case, try a reboot until there is only one Terminal xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo bluetoothctl [NEW] Controller 00:1A:7D:DA:71:13 xbian [default] [bluetooth]# power on Changing power on succeeded [bluetooth]# pairable on Changing pairable on succeeded [bluetooth]# scan on Discovery started [CHG] Controller 00:1A:7D:DA:71:13 Discovering: yes [NEW] Device 94:CE:2C:FA:1A:C7 SBH20 [CHG] Device 94:CE:2C:FA:1A:C7 RSSI: -96 [CHG] Device 94:CE:2C:FA:1A:C7 RSSI: -54 [bluetooth]# pair 94:CE:2C:FA:1A:C7 Attempting to pair with 94:CE:2C:FA:1A:C7 [CHG] Device 94:CE:2C:FA:1A:C7 Connected: yes [CHG] Device 94:CE:2C:FA:1A:C7 UUIDs: 00001108-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb 0000110b-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb 0000110c-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb 0000110e-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb 0000111e-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb [CHG] Device 94:CE:2C:FA:1A:C7 Paired: yes Pairing successful [CHG] Device 94:CE:2C:FA:1A:C7 Connected: no [bluetooth]# trust 94:CE:2C:FA:1A:C7 [CHG] Device 94:CE:2C:FA:1A:C7 Trusted: yes Changing 94:CE:2C:FA:1A:C7 trust succeeded [bluetooth]# connect 94:CE:2C:FA:1A:C7 Attempting to connect to 94:CE:2C:FA:1A:C7 [CHG] Device 94:CE:2C:FA:1A:C7 Connected: yes Connection successful [bluetooth]# quit [DEL] Controller 00:1A:7 If all has gone well, you should hear audio through your bluetooth headset, and the girlfriend/wife/dog/goldfish can sleep undisturbed while you watch DeadPool on full volume.
