@flysurfer

Thanks for all your help 2 weeks ago. I finally tried the Pi with pixel and then with a bluetooth dongle which confirmed the Pi was faulty – dongle worked fine, internal Bluetooth did not work with fresh Pixel either. Got a replacement Pi today and Bluetooth works fine with both Pixel and Max2Play, though I have not yet had time to try it out fully: so far I’ve only paired and played music to a bluetooth speaker to prove the Pi Bluetooth works.

Hi

I checked the rsapberry settings and bluetooth was not disabled. I tried disbale, reboot, then ‚enable‘ by unticking and reboot again, but still the same. I also checked the Pi model and confirmed it is a Pi3 both via both Max2Play header and also using: cat /proc/cpuinfo – see output at bottom of this post. I also looked at the overlays in the config.txt file as this seems to be where bluetooth can be disabled. It is not obviously disabled via an overlay such as pi3-disable-bt-overlay but there is a Hifiberry overlay and I also found on another forum that someone had issues when they connected devices to GPIO but no answers received. Could the hifiberry dac+ on GPIO and the hifiberry overlay somehow disable bluetooth? I am only guessing and do not know how to check!

The below are the only uncommented items in config.txt: –

# Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)
dtparam=audio=on

# Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)
dtparam=audio=on
gpu_mem=128
dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus

Looking at hifiberry-dacplus, only documentation I can find is: –

Name: hifiberry-dacplus
Info: Configures the HifiBerry DAC+ audio card
Load: dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus,<param>=<val>
Params: 24db_digital_gain Allow gain to be applied via the PCM512x codec
Digital volume control. Enable with
„dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus,24db_digital_gain“
(The default behaviour is that the Digital
volume control is limited to a maximum of
0dB. ie. it can attenuate but not provide
gain. For most users, this will be desired
as it will prevent clipping. By appending
the 24dB_digital_gain parameter, the Digital
volume control will allow up to 24dB of
gain. If this parameter is enabled, it is the
responsibility of the user to ensure that
the Digital volume control is set to a value
that does not result in clipping/distortion!)
slave Force DAC+ Pro into slave mode, using Pi as
master for bit clock and frame clock.

Following my earlier post I’ve reinstalled with current Jessie version (new card/fresh install) and done all updates etc. I’ve had more success with Bluetooth to a point in that packages seem to be installed, but still cannot connect to devices that are visible to other Bluetooth/eachother but not currently connected to anything (speaker and phone). No ‚known devices‘ section appears on the Bluetooth tab. Debug information below again showing nothing for dongle (but I am using RPI3 so no dongle attached, only built in Bluetooth – bought as RPI3 and detected as RPI3 by Max2Play). I also went in via terminal as user pi/sudo to check to see what was working in bluetooth – all packages seem to be installed and up to date and I have rebooted at least 3 times. I copied below bluetoothctl outputs which suggest no controller (list also blank)?? Any ideas? Google searches just suggest the packages etc which are already installed which I have checked with apt-get and they are definitely all installed.

From settings/rebbot, looks like plenty of space (as filesystem was expanded), but it appears I am using Wheezy not Jessie – not sure how that happened as I thought I had downloaded latest version using HifiBerry installer. Looks like I need to reinstall!!!!

I tried installing Bluetooth on RPI3, assumiong I could use built in Bluetooth, following steps in instructable and it all seemed to go ok until trying to connect (scan for bluetooth devices) – no devices are discovered at all – no area showing ‚known devices‘ as suggested in the video. I know at least 3 Bluetooth devices should be visible (2 TVs, speaker) as my phone can see them and also my phone should be a fourth visible device as it is on the Bluetooth settings page. The install all looked ok until that point. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling twice, including lots of reboots and still the same. Debug looks blank – does this mean Bluetooth is not working on the RPI3? Am I missing some other action I need to take to make it work. Debug below = no text at all other than the titles.
