Do you use the Pi3 bluetooth? I had the same problems. Tried other sample rates, realtime-scheduling etc. No luck. Even built newest Pulseaudio from source. Streaming sounds good when disabling on-board Wifi using the following command: sudo ifdown wlan0 Funny thing: without Wifi, I can see in Bluem...

Can you try connecting with your phone to stream audio from your phone to the Pi? I could make it work with apt-get install pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-bluetooth pavucontrol and then pairing with blueman. However, my audio only sounded good (no excessive pops/glitches) when disabling the wifi: ifdo...

Just got a fresh image of Raspbian Jessie for my Raspberry Pi 3 B. Updated everything (apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and rpi-update). I'm trying to stream audio from my Android phone to the Raspberry. Testing audio from the audio jack. Saw this tutorial: https://wiki.debian.org/BluetoothUser/a2dp ...

I did some sniffing, but it looks like a lot of data going on the i2c-0 bus. Posted the request on Github: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/1351 Popcornmix came up with that it is not a good idea to just get the power off the display, because it could be during i2c data. I think this is i...

For a project, I need to turn off the power of the official 7" touchscreen or put it in a sleep mode. Turning the backlight off can save much energy, but the rest of the display still consumes around 100mA. Switching the power of the screen is possible, but this won't work out of the box since the s...

The Pi runs on a big battery. When a system is powered on, the user can control that system. When off, the Pi communicates with a server every x minutes. I can bring the Pi 3 down to 150mA@5V without touchscreen/video when Wifi, usb, ethernet,HDMI output and other stuff switched off. (~70mA@12V batt...

Let's hope one of the developers knows how to reduce current draw. Without the backlight the board is still consuming lot of power. Other option is to disconnect the power from touchscreen, but have to reload initialising data. Is there any code or function to reload this data?

I'm also interested in this. Is the PWR led (led1) hardwired or is there an update/solution to turn it off? Guess it can save around 5mA.

The backlight control works great with the 1.1v board. Curious about when or how it is possible to completely shut off the touchscreen (over i2c). Bringing the brightness to 0% is not enough power saving for my project, need to completely shut off the screen sometimes. Too bad switching the power to...
