Audio output only from jack port

Hi,

not that I'm not happy: I managed to get the audio output from the jack port! :D
But the HDMI and the Bluetooth devices are not working.
The bluetooth device for example can be connected, it is visible in the audio 'mixer' (if we can call it as such), can be selected, but the sound keeps coming out of the jack.
The HDMI option does not work at all.
Maybe some config I need to change?

Thanks and Regards,

Gabriele

On linux, audio can be a mess. Some programs will obey one standard while others follow another, and a few ignore everything and output to whatever they want.

Try disabling the internal audio on the Pi if you want to use the bluetooth speaker.

Code: Select all

sudo mousepad /boot/config.txt
(if mousepad doesn't work, try leafpad or nano)
  • Find this line:

    Code: Select all

    dtparam=audio=on
  • And change it to:

    Code: Select all

    dtparam=audio=off
    Make sure there is no # in front of that line. (ensure it is uncommented)
  • Reboot
This will turn off hdmi audio and internal jack audio. Now all programs will be forced to play to the bluetooth speaker.
