Route all Pi audio to bluetooth speaker

colporteur
colporteur over 6 years ago

Can someone share their experience on how to route all audio available from the Raspbian GUI to a bluetooth speaker?

 

After establishing a bluetooth connection to a speaker, I can use the audio menu to select the bluetooth device and play audio through the speaker from the default media application (i.e VLC media player). I discovered audio from the browser (i.e. youtube video) still plays out the HDMI port.

 

My internet search criteria doesn't generate the necessary results. I'm looking for returns that reflect the Buster version of Raspbian with all audio routed to a bluetooth speak. The configs would make the bluetooth speaker the default audio output for a Raspbian full install.

 

If anyone has an links or commentary that has given them success I would appreciate the input.

    I do not have the answer, but I can point you in a direction that will help. In this link, you will find how to realign the default sound. It may be adapted to your situation.

    I think your answer is to send the sound to pulse instead of ALSA. Then the destination is much simpler. Look at https://opensource.com/article/17/1/linux-plays-sound . For a Windows perceptive this article maybe better https://www.learndigitalaudio.com/how-linux-audio-works-vs-windows-audio-2017

    Hope this helps you.
