Bluetooth problem w/RPi

  • Hi,

    I'm setting up a music only system Rpi B w/Libreelec RPi2.arm-9.2.3 using the SmartiPi Touch 2 case & touchscreen display. It is working fine except for a Bluetooth issue. I'm planning on using a Marshall Stanmore bluetooth speaker. The goal is for the Libreelec/RPi to use the Marshall as its default speaker.

    I went into LE and paired the speaker. It shows as connected. I changed the audio to Pulseaudio Bluetooth. No sound comes out. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong or what I need to change? How do I make the Marshall the default speaker or does that just "happen"?

  • Ahh, I figured it out. The Rpi is very slow. I was seeing it had paired on the GUI but it actually wasn't. I was finally able to get a true pairing and it now works as I wanted. This is a pretty cool setup for my workshop.
