BTA-403 in Audio Receiving mode with aptX

  • Hi,

    Started playing with my Orico BTA-403 dongle to see if I could get things working (easily) on either a odroid or RPi, refer to this thread.

    So the idea is aptX can be used, but I am not that far yet as I first need to get the dongle in Audio Receiving mode

    ( instead of Sending ).Therefore checked Pulseaudio [LibreELEC.wiki] ,but alas ...

    To summarise, till this part things went smooth:

    systemctl stop kodi

    pactl load-module module-udev-detect

    pactl list short sinks

    1 alsa_output.platform-soc_sound.analog-stereo module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED

    pactl set-default-sink alsa_output.platform-soc_sound.analog-stereo


    Yet I am unable to find a bluetooth audio device, at least I am expecting something like " bluez_ "

    ---

    pactl list short sources

    1 alsa_output.platform-soc_sound.analog-stereo.monitor module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED

    2 alsa_input.platform-soc_sound.analog-stereo module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED


    This is strange as I can see the dongle is detected and working in default mode , thus Bluetooth Audio Sending to pair my phone

    I am currently running libreelec on a RPi0, which is showing
