Method 1: Install PulseAudio from Debian BackportsĮdit source list: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.listĪdd PGP keys to your Raspberry Pi: gpg -keyserver -recv-key 8B48AD6246925553 To install manually PulseAudio 6 or higher, there are two methods and both of them are OK. Purge pre-installed PulseAudio: sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio Update and upgrade it: sudo apt-get updateĬheck the version of packages: dpkg -l bluez I recommend starting with a fresh Raspbian Jessie image: Minimal versions needed for HSP (A2DP included) are: Bluez 5 / PulseAudio 6 Source:
One problem that is mentioned everywhere is the drop out of Bluetooth support by ALSA. Then I’ll post the exhaustive story behind this Bluetooth/Raspberry Pi issue, in order to help others who want to explore more. I know that some people may just want to know how to do it, and don’t care about details, so I’ll explain first how to make it. So, unless I find THE ideal solution, you have no choice but to use a Bluetooth USB dongle.
How do I know? Because I used an external Bluetooth transceiver (USB dongle), and now my headset works perfectly (AD2P & HSP).
