Linux H6 and the A2DP soap

haajee · November 10, 2019

Hello everyone,

I want to do something simple with my OrangePi One Plus. That is to connect a bluetooth speaker and play wireless from the Pi with a CSR8510 A10 USB dongel. The dongel works and i can pair with every device. Even with my JBL Go 2 bluetooth speaker:


hj@PLUS-OrangePiOne:~ $ sudo bluetoothctl
[NEW] Controller YY:YY:YY:YY PLUS-OrangePiOne [default]

[bluetooth]# power on

But, as you can see above, i can´t connect to the JBL Go2. If i open the bluetooth service i read:


hj@PLUS-OrangePiOne:~ $ sudo service bluetooth status

Off course did i look on Google and i read something with pulseaudio but that should be installed also the ´pulse-module-bluetooth´ module. i have no idea to fix this.

Btw: connecting to non-audio bluetooth devices works. Connecting to the JBL Go2 from Armbian-config does also not work...

Does someone of you a sugestion to make a2dp working?
