See new order in green

The order required is rather strict as bluetoothctl needs pulseaudio to be running for it to connect. Don't attempt to connect until pulseaudio is selected in Kodi and the pulseaudio service is running.

HOWEVER - sometimes, for no apparent reason, it doesn't work. If that is the case, you need to reboot, and go through the process again.

At one point I added "sudo usermod -a -G lp xbian" but cannot see if that is required - or what good it will do. If the setup doesn't work, try it.

BTW: I'm sticking to USB from now on - it's better for my sanity!!

After installing Puleseaudio, pulseaudio-module-bluetooth, bluez etc, I started pulseaudio by

Terminal

pulseaudio --start

and I can finally connect to my bluetooth speaker using bluetoothctl and even after reboot, it still works automatically (i can hear to connecting sound, a short click)
but now I still cannot hear any sound (from videos/audios/airplay) what should I look into now?
thanks you so much, what a happy day for me, finally a step forward!!!

I tried reboot several times, everytime i got the same results

Terminal

xbian@xbian ~ $ ps -ef|grep -i pulse
xbian 1642 1 0 03:13 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
xbian 2577 1 3 03:13 ? 00:00:04 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
xbian 3637 3161 0 03:15 pts/2 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i pulse
xbian@xbian ~ $

I tried to kill one, but both were killed, and i tried start it manually, still no sound.
