bluetooth speakers : paired OK, Alsa Ok, PulseAudio KO

Post by jlm_devel » Sun Nov 24, 2019 2:49 pm

I'm trying to make my speaker work with my gentoo.... so far when I do bluetoothclt, I can pair and the device connect automatically when powered on.
I followed https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Bluetooth_headset
with alsa I created a .asoundrc

Code: Select all

# Bluetooth headset
defaults.bluealsa {
     interface "hci0"            # host Bluetooth adapter
     device "FC:58:FA:A7:82:A4"  # Bluetooth headset MAC address
     profile "a2dp"
}
when I play

Code: Select all

mpv --audio-device=alsa/bluealsa filename
everything is fine.... but I can't make pulse audio use it, Pulse Audio Volume control only show my builtin audio card....
any idea?

Did you configure pulseaudio with bluetooth support? Is the bluez5-discover driver loaded?

[        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
[ Colors : set, unset                             ]
 * Found these USE flags for media-sound/pulseaudio-13.0:
 U I
 + + X              : Build the X11 publish module to export PulseAudio information through X11 protocol for clients to make use. Don't enable
                      this flag if you want to use a system wide instance. If unsure, enable this flag. 
 - - abi_x86_32     : 32-bit (x86) libraries
 + + alsa           : Add support for media-libs/alsa-lib (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture)
 + + alsa-plugin    : Request installing media-plugins/alsa-plugins with PulseAudio plugin enabled. This ensures that clients supporting ALSA
                      only will use PulseAudio. 
 + + asyncns        : Use libasyncns for asynchronous name resolution.
 + + bluetooth      : Enable Bluetooth Support

 - - equalizer      : Enable the equalizer module (requires sci-libs/fftw). 
 - - gconf          : Ensure gnome-base/gconf is present for pulseaudio GConf to GSettings module automatic migration (keeping the user
                      configuration) 
 + + gdbm           : Use sys-libs/gdbm to store PulseAudio databases. Recommended for desktop usage. This flag causes the whole package to be
                      licensed under GPL-2 or later. 
 + + glib           : Add support to dev-libs/glib-based mainloop for the libpulse client library, to allow using libpulse on glib-based
                      programs. Build the GSettings PA module.

 + + qt5            : Add support for the Qt 5 application and UI framework
 - - realtime       : Makes PulseAudio use RealtimeKit (sys-auth/rtkit) to get real-time priority while running. 
 - - sox            : Add support for Sound eXchange (SoX)
 + + ssl            : Use dev-libs/openssl to provide support for RAOP (AirPort) streaming. 
 - - systemd        : Build with sys-apps/systemd support to replace standalone ConsoleKit. 
 + + tcpd           : Add support for TCP wrappers
 - - test           : Enable dependencies and/or preparations necessary to run tests (usually controlled by FEATURES=test but can be toggled
                      independently)
 + + udev           : Enable virtual/udev integration (device discovery, power and storage device support, etc)
 + + webrtc-aec     : Uses the webrtc.org AudioProcessing library for enhancing VoIP calls greatly in applications that support it by performing
