Pulseaudio raspberry pi Bluetooth#

The problem with most of our setups is that it relies on the bluetooth headset mounted on our helmets to prioritize the audio of the connected devices. To complicate matters, many of my group use HAM radios with HFP -> GMRS/HAM PTT adapters. IвЂ™m part of a motorcycle touring group and we are struggling with the limitations of the current batch of Bluetooth intercom headsets available on the market. I wonder if you have some ideas about the following project IвЂ™m trying to suss out: Thank you for taking the time to figure all of this out.

вЂ“ Connect Bluetooth Headset To Raspberry Pi 3 (A2DP & HSP) вЂ“В Raspbian Stretch has arrived for Raspberry Pi The steps to enable equalizer on HFP sending audio is newly posted. I confirmed Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP) is working too.

I confirmed both sending and receiving audio are fine during a hands free call. Since Raspbian Stretch supports PulseAudio v10.0, the steps are now a little simpler than previous one. If you want to end the call, then type: python. To make a call, you can use oFono test scripts which is included in the source code.ДҐ-1. If everything is ok, you should see вЂњsuccessfulвЂќ at the end of the result for each command like below. Then, pair, trust and connect to your phone by specifying the Bluetooth device address (in this case itвЂ™s вЂњXX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XXвЂќ, please replace it wity your deviceвЂ™s address). scan offДevices command shows a list of found devices. After detecting your phone, turn scan off. load-module module-bluetooth-discover headset=ofonoД¤-2. Add вЂњheadset=ofonoвЂќ on the line of вЂmodule-bluetooth-discoverвЂ™.

Install PulseAudio and its Bluetooth module: sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-bluetooth -yДЈ-2. In Raspbian Stretch, PulseAudio is not pre-installed. rvice loaded active running Telephony serviceДЈ-1. You can check the service running like below. Make sure if itвЂ™s successfully installed.

oFono is not installed by default, so letвЂ™s install it. If itвЂ™s DOWN for some reason, then turn it up. TX bytes:1437 acl:0 sco:0 commands:38 errors:0 RX bytes:622 acl:0 sco:0 events:38 errors:0 The result should be like this: hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: USBД«D Address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ACL MTU: 310:10 SCO MTU: 64:8 After reboot, check dmesg and make sure there is no Bluetooth-related errors. However, since in this post we are using PulseAudio, letвЂ™s uninstall bluez-alsa. According to a Raspberry Pi Foundation blog post, Bluetooth audio is handled by ALSA through bluez-alsa in Stretch. As described, we donвЂ™t use on-board Bluetooth chip. Connect the microphone and speakers to 3.5 mm audio jacks on the USB sound card.ДЎ-4. Connect Bluetooth dongle and USB sound card with Raspberry Pi.ДЎ-2.

PulseAudio 6.0 or later (not pre-installed in Stretch, but it supports v10.0).

Bluez 5.0 or later (v5.43 is pre-installed in Stretch).

Microphone with 3.5 mm audio jack (e.g.

Required since Raspberry Pi board doesnвЂ™t have microphone input.

USB Sound Card with microphone input (e.g.

Panda Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter)ДЄs mentioned above, weвЂ™ll use a Bluetooth dongle since the on-board Bluetooth chip doesnвЂ™t work for HFP. I used Raspberry Pi 3 B+ but other models should work. Raspberry Pi 3 B+)ДЄssuming your Raspberry Pi is running Raspbian Stretch. Here is the list of contents of this post. So, we have to use a Bluetooth dongle instead. It seems that the problem is related with the chip. The original plan was to use Raspberry Pi3вЂ™s on-board Bluetooth chip for this project. There is one thing needs to be mentioned before start. When I wrote the previous post, I was using Raspbian Jessie and some steps needed to be updated to apply Raspbian Stretch. The purpose of this post is to enable Bluetooth Handsfree Profile (HFP) with PulseAudio on Raspbian Stretch so that Raspberry Pi can act like as a handsfree speaker phone or a handsfree car kit.
