alsa-project/alsa-plugins issue #32 was opened from quequotion: Sorry to beat a dead horse, and double if this is in fact a pulseaudio issue. I recently configured bluez and pulseaudio to receive streams from devices over bluetooth (eg, to play audio from a phone over the PC's speaker system). This works when the PC's sound card is set to profiles *other than* the A52 plugin (ie, pulseaudio's provided digital stereo output and also the [DTS alsa plugin](https://github.com/darealshinji/dcaenc)). Only when set to use the AC3 output profile, audio from the bluez source is not produced. pavucontrol shows the bluez source is producing sound (the level bounces appropriately), but no audio comes out of the sink (no level bounce in pavucontrol either). Any ideas? Issue URL : https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-plugins/issues/32 Repository URL: https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-plugins
