a2dp to stereo speakers

[pepedog]

OK, I followed my instructions, and apart from this
pacman -S dbus-python
it worked. Not straight away though, had to turn volume up from zero.
Only one file edited, /etc/asound.conf , all others stock

Can you get an output of the same command a did in my last post?
Is this done with a fully up to date archlinuxarm?

If I don't see anything different in your output compared to mine I guess I'll try and load up archlinuxarm from scratch and try it again.

[pepedog]

Will try tomorrow, will have to build bluez-tools
Give me all the commands you want tried.

[ygator]

okay thanks.

Here are some commands. If I think of anything else I'll add them here.

# hciconfig -a hci0
# hcitool -i hci0 dev

[ygator]

Later tonight I will setup a new flash drive with the latest archlinuxarm tar ball.
I will then do some basic setup to it and then fully upgrade it.
After that I will run through your steps and not change anything but /etc/asound.conf.

[pepedog]

I have a problem, running on a trimslice now and uses a different repo.
Can't use yaourt as it's not built, sorry.

[ygator]

It does it on a clean install as well.

I've tried another dongle and does the same thing.
Might be some issue with the bt speakers.
I have two headset I'll, but I believe they did the same thing as well.

I was able to connect a bluetooth mouse and could l2ping the speakers though.

BTW, here are the only packages I needed to install.
pacman -S bluez python-pybluez dbus-python pygobject linux-firmware alsa-utils

I swapped my dongle for a 100 metre one, and don't know if it was that or powering off speaker meant I had to hci0 up and re-pair.
Also hcitool -i hci0 con doesn't work unless it's playing sound
Also delete all files in /var/lib/bluetooth, reboot, reconfigure all, and pair again is good advice

[ygator]

Thanks for the info. Just tried again on a clean system. Did the same thing. Either there is a configuration I am missing or my hardware does not work with Linux.
The first time all I changed was /etc/asound.conf to match yours. However, I noticed rfcomm was not running. I then changed audio.conf to match yours and now did get rfcomm. Below is what I got.

Can you see if you had to make changes to any of the other /etc/bluetooth config files?

I also noticed you have sco running, but my setup does not. SCO is used for audio so that may be the problem.

Here are the two bt dongles I am trying. Both report a class of 0x000100 and yours is reporting 0x480100.
Now I know for a fact that the first dongle works with the bt speakers on a windows computer.
