RPi 3 - Use integrated Bluetooth and WiFi at the same time

Sun Jul 17, 2016 10:06 am

Hi,

I have a project of a visual voice mail with a Raspberry Pi 3, the official touchscreen and a Bluetooth speaker. I have a problem of audio quality through integrated Bluetooth : the quality is really poor.

The RPi is connected to the Internet via integrated WiFi.

After a few tries, I noticed that the quality of audio is OK when the WiFi is disabled with the command line :

Code: Select all

ifconfig wlan0 down
Does somebody notice the same issue ? Is there a solution to make use of integrated Bluetooth and WiFi at the same time, while keeping a good audio quality through Bluetooth ?

Thanks for your help,

Kind regards,

Pierre86

Hi there

IMHO using the Pi3 onboard BT and WiFi at the same time is not viable, see my thread here.
Daily driver: Pi3B, 64GB Samsung Evo+ @100MHz, DVB-T, onboard WiFi for internet, BT/USB dongle for KB/mouse, 250GB HDD via USB for media, Raspbian Jessie Lite with Openbox desktop.
Museum: Pi B

Thanks for your help.

It's a bit disappointing, but I will manage with it, by adding a wifi or bluetooth dongle.

I have also noticed that when making a Bluetooth audio receiver. When WiFi is on, audio is bad. As soon as I turn off WiFi, the audio is good.
