I¹ve just wasted several days tearing out what¹s left of my hair trying to figure this out so if some expert out there would help, I¹d appreciate it. Here¹s the setup: A Yocto Dizzy single-board computer with Bluez 5.3 and PulseAudio 6.0 installed. Note that this will be a headless embedded setup so I MUST use Pulse Audio¹s system mode. I¹ve also got a Samsung Level Box speaker. If I launch PulseAudio as follows using the stock .pa files pulseaudio --system -vvvv --log-target=newfile:/tmp/pulseverbose.log ÂD The daemon runs. Then I launch bluetoothctl, search for, pair and trust the speaker. That works fine. When I try to connect, it fails with the following error message: [bluetooth]# connect A0:B4:A5:1E:9D:E6 Attempting to connect to A0:B4:A5:1E:9D:E6 Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed I then do systemctl -l status bluetooth and I see the following error: May 29 10:14:29 ts-imx6-s bluetoothd[369]: a2dp-sink profile connect failed for A0:B4:A5:1E:9D:E6: Protocol not available May 29 10:14:29 ts-imx6-s bluetoothd[369]: bluetoothd[369]: a2dp-sink profile connect failed for A0:B4:A5:1E:9D:E6: Protocol not available So, that might suggest that some module isn¹t loading which a google search led me to this link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_headset#Pairing_works.2C_but_ connecting_does_not In there, they say that you ned to make sure that module-bluez5-device is loaded. I checked the pulsevebose.log file and I didn¹t see it anywhere in there. Okay, so I then looked at the .pa files (all of them) and I don¹t see this being loaded. So I edited the .pa files and added a line to load module-bluez5-device. Then I try to run pulseaudio again as before. This time, the daemon fails to launch because the path argument for module-bluez5-device isn¹t set. But I have no idea what to set it to. I tried path=/org/bluez/hci0 without and then with that directory existing but to no avail. I keep getting the following error in the log: D: [pulseaudio] module.c: Checking for existence of '/usr/lib/pulse-6.0/modules/module-bluez5-device.so': success E: [pulseaudio] module-bluez5-device.c: /org/bluez/hci0 is unknown E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-bluez5-device" (argument: "path=/org/bluez/hci0"): initialization failed. E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed. E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize daemon. What am I doing wrong? What am I missing? Google is little help on this because few references talk about system mode. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
