If you connected Bluetooth Speakers, make sure to set the soundcard of your audioplayers to bluetooth as audio output! You need to restart your Audioplayer if the Bluetooth Device changed.
If you connected a Smartphone to stream to Squeezebox Server, NO further setting to your soundcard is needed (do NOT set your soundcard to bluealsa)!

quitEDIT:
Restarting the M2P device & repairing worked ! that seems to have did the trickFinally I got it working !!! I was able to connect my Fire TV Stick to M2P Bluetooth Receiver.
I followed the original instructions from
https://www.max2play.com/en/forums/topic/using-pi-as-bluetooth-speaker-make-pairing-easier/ but unable to setup successfully.As mentioned in above post, I did set the class to 0x00041C as below:
sudo hciconfig hci0 class 0x00041C
However whenever i try to make the bluetooth adapter in M2P discoverable it gets reverted back to 0x0c0000
So, I added the below line to /etc/bluetooth/main.conf in Default device class section.
Class = 0x200414so it looks like:
# Default device class. Only the major and minor device class bits are
# considered. Defaults to ‚0x000000‘.
#Class = 0x000100
Class = 0x200414and then run
sudo systemctl status bluetooth.serviceI used 0x200414 as my device class and it worked perfectly. I included more classes below that you can test ! i generated them using
http://bluetooth-pentest.narod.ru/software/bluetooth_class_of_device-service_generator.html================================ Device Classes ====================================
Major Service Class | Major Device Class | Minor Device Class | Bluetooth Code
——————– ——————– ———————– —————-
Audio Audio,Video Loudspeaker 0x200414
Audio, Video Portable Audio 0x41C
Audio Audio,Video Portable Audio 0x20041C
Audio Audio,Video HiFi Audio Device 0x200428======================================================================================
Also i ssh’ed into M2P device, and then
sudo hciconfig -a (check whether its showing the new class)
sudo bluetoothctl (to go into bluetooth prompt)
discoverable on
pairable on
agent on
default-agent onNow Start Fire TV, and scan for bluetooth devices, Your M2P should definitely show up, Pair it and also ensure you fill in the prompts you get on bluetoothctl prompt on your M2P device. Thats it Enjoy
the Fire Tv sound on M2P connected Speaker !!Hi MarioM,
Thank you very much. It’s a Bluetooth speaker and the specifications are listed on creative website at https://uk.creative.com/p/speakers/creative-muvo-play#specs.
The specifications on above link says:
Power Output
Satellites: 2 x 5W RMS, Peak Power: 20WSignal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
≥ 75 dBI do not see any mention of any amplifier in the specifications.so wondering how to deduce if it indeed is an active speaker ?
Edit :
This is indeed an active speaker and I need to use a DAC Card !
Oh well I understand that not all active speakers give amplifier rating explicitly especially it it’s a portable Bluetooth speaker ! The easy way to identify is -> it’s the speaker is connected to a power supply, a battery and a AUX in (3.5 mm input or 1/8 input) it’s essentially a active speaker !
Great video on how to identify the active vs passive speaker at
