Only the rpi boards with 5Ghz wifi connections seem to work okay when bluetooth is enabled.

I tested a Zero-W with an external USB Bluetooth stick which is working without a problem in a Pi 3B+ and there it is not possible to get it correctly to work. The sound is cut every few ms.Pi4 4GB piCorePlayer with LMS and Squeezelite for USB inside an Argon One case

Great work on the BT integration.
As the WiFi on my SB Radios has become unreliable due to neighbors WiFI6 interference, I've switched to ethernet on all but one SB Radio that I use as a portable, so I was constantly re-booting it to re-establish my WiFi connection.
I bought a BT Speaker and it works great with PiCorePlayer.. Just turn on the BT Speaker and play continues where I left off. And the MPRIS support allowing pause and skipping to the next track is outstandingLast edited by Tony T; 2022-05-07, 04:55.Tony

Bluetooth Controller Not Found
Hi
So I am trying to get a Bluetooth Dongle described as "CSR 4.0" working with my RPi 2 with pCP 8.1.
I have installed the Bluetooth Extensions, but when I select to [Power On] the BT Controller the following is seen:
"Turning the BT Controller power on...
No default controller available"
I can also see the following in dmesg:
[ 4.322188] usb 1-1.4: New USB device found, idVendor=0a12, idProduct=0001, bcdDevice=88.91
[ 4.322204] usb 1-1.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=2, SerialNumber=0

[ 24.051703] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast

Any ideas what I need to do to get the controller working?
Thanks.Comment

I think that the Bluetooth controller being referred to is the one inside the Raspberry Pi (and in your case you may well not have one).
So don't go through that step for Bluetooth via USB - leave it disabled.Paul Webster

how to customize the output device for bluealsa-aplay (only) ???
Hi,
based on my experience ...
when a BT player connects to the pCP, this process is launched:
12945 root 0:05 / usr / local / bin / bluealsa-aplay -D plughw: CARD = E30, DEV = 0 2C: D0: 5A: 60: 14: 88
now the problem is the output device ...
my DAC topping E30 to reproduce the audio of a connected BT player must use this output device:
plughw: CARD = E30, DEV = 0
E30, USB Audio
Hardware device with all software conversions
but the default device of my pCP - which for obvious reasons I prefer for squeezelite - is this:
hw: CARD = E30, DEV = 0
E30, USB Audio
Direct hardware device without any conversions
The question is:
does anyone know how to customize pCP so that bluealsa-aplay uses its own output device, different from the one used by squeezelite ???
in the concrete case:
bluealsa-aplay -D plughw: CARD = E30, DEV = 0
and
squeezelite -o hw: CARD = E30, DEV = 0
thx

pCP 8.2 is out now, contains the separate device output setting, as well as aptX and Ldac support.
Make sure you do the update on the bluetooth page after you upgrade to 8.2.0.piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.

Thx for the additional codec support, i updated the bluetooth extension, but still cannot choose the other codecs...
Is there still anything missing, www update?LMS 9 (Debian virtual machine on ESXi) - 2x Squeezebox Radio - 4x piCorePlayer on Raspberry Pi 3 - Yamaha RX-A840 - several SqueezeAMPs (boost and non-boost versions) - Squeezeplay on iMac at work (connected over vpn to home lms)Comment

Did it offer the list on the Bluetooth web page?
