If you are using Raspbian Stretch Lite then you need to install from the repository as it is no longer included:

Bluetooth audio

In Jessie, we used PulseAudio to provide support for audio over Bluetooth, but integrating this with the ALSA architecture used for other audio sources was clumsy. For Stretch, we are using the bluez-alsa package to make Bluetooth audio work with ALSA itself. PulseAudio is therefore no longer installed by default, and the volume plugin on the taskbar will no longer start and stop PulseAudio. From a user point of view, everything should still work exactly as before – the only change is that if you still wish to use PulseAudio for some other reason, you will need to install it yourself.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/pulseaudio

And note what it says there:

the only change is that if you still wish to use PulseAudio for some other [non-Bluetooth] reason, you will need to install it yourself.
