I have Raspberry pi 3B+ and bluetooth speaker Beats Pill+. I am trying to forward all audio to this speaker and use it as default. Bluetooth connection between rpi and speaker is not a problem, using bluetoothctl I can easily achieve it. Using this command: aplay -D bluealsa:HCI=hci0,DEV=MAC,PROFILE=a2dp /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav I can play test sound to the speaker but I am not able to find how to forward all sounds to this speaker (for example espeak "test").

Thanks for advance

  • Have you tried setting your speaker as the default audio device? Is that what you want? Commented Jun 26, 2019 at 10:54
  • @DmitryGrigoryev Yes, I want to do this but I don't know where I can set up BT speaker as default audio device. Commented Jun 26, 2019 at 11:02

Reset to default

You need to create a file ~/.asoundrc with the following content:

pcm.!default { type plug slave { pcm { type bluealsa device <MAC> profile "a2dp" } } hint { show on description "BEATS" } } ctl.!default { type bluealsa }

If this does not work you could also try the following content for your .asoundrc file

defaults.bluealsa.interface "hci0" defaults.bluealsa.profile "a2dp" defaults.bluealsa.delay 10000 defaults.bluealsa.battery "yes" defaults.bluealsa.device "<MAC>" pcm.!default { type hw card 1 } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 }

Currently I am not completely sure if you need to restart services or if it works out of the box.

Open the Volume Control (pavucontrol in the shell), go to the Output Devices tab and push the "Default" button in front of your Bluetooth audio device:

    I tried to achieve this using pulseaudio but without success. Solution with alsa and .asounrc works well. Commented Jun 26, 2019 at 12:15
