Hi Community, I kept debugging this issue today and found out that aplay failed to send out the .wav file content to bluetooth headset. >From the "strace aplay -D btheadset .wav" I can see that the wav file is read in 12000B chunk, but sent to bluetooth socket in 48B chunk of data. Compared with the strace result for aplay through speaker, the wav file can be read correctly, however, when using bluetooth headset aplay always seems to send 48B zero again and again. This explains why there is no sound output at all. fd 6 is the opened wav file. fd 7 is the connection with /org/bluez/audio. ... read(6, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 12000) = 12000 send(7, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 48, 0) = 48 read(6, "w\37\210 \21!\6!\320 q \244\37u\36b\35\222\34a\33\314\31\267\30C\30\265\27\234\26"..., 12000) = 12000 send(7, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 48, 0) = 48 send(7, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 48, 0) = 48 read(6, "\t\23\205\23\27\24\206\24\330\24G\25\301\25!\26x\26\335\26B\27\211\27\301\27\24\30`\30\211\30"..., 12000) = 12000 send(7, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 48, 0) = 48 send(7, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 48, 0) = 48 read(6, "\334\377\343\377\347\377\337\377\332\377\340\377\344\377\342\377\337\377\327\377\324\377\345\377\350\377\331\377\343\377\362\377"..., 12000) = 12000 send(7, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 48, 0) = 48 send(7, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 48, 0) = 48 clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1457576840, 978074823}) = 0 read(6, "\374\377\361\377\345\377\363\377\366\377\361\377\364\377\364\377\367\377\370\377\352\377\352\377\371\377\362\377\360\377\4\0"..., 12000) = 12000 send(7, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 48, 0) = 48 send(7, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 48, 0) = 48 send(7, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 48, 0) = 48 send(7, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 48, 0) = 48 send(7, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 48, 0) = 48 ...
