Hi, I install raspbian and I'd like streaming music with bluetooth from my smartphone. I install bluez, blueman (2.0.3) and pulseaudio-module-bluetooth and now on device configuration (in bluman) I see the audio source option but when I try to connect my phone It fails.. the error message is: bluema.bluez.errors.DBusFailedError: No such file or directory. What I was wrong? How can I fix it?

Did you check the time zone on your Pi? I found that mine wouldn't connect to any network other than wifi until after I adjusted my clock so it was set for the correct time zone.

If you had fully updated Jessie, then BlueTooth support is enabled by default, FYI blueman can be buggy:

1. Is the Bluetooth adapter up and running? Check it with

Code: Select all

hciconfig -a
2. Is the Bluetooth daemon running? Check with

Code: Select all

systemctl status bluetooth 
3. Is PulseAudio installed? Install it with

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

4. Is the phone paired and trusted? Use bluetoothctl. If needed remove and re-pair.

This tutorial will work to make the Pi into a Bluetooth A2DP sink: https://github.com/davidedg/NAS-mod-con ... Audio5.txt

I solved the problem, pulseaudio was not automatically launched.
With the comand: /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start the problem was solved..
Now how do I launch it automatically?

The link I posted in my previous post explains how to create and enable a system unit to launch PulseAudio at boot. Make sure root is in the proper groups as well.
