Raspberry Pi / PulseAudio didn't detect my bluetooth speaker

Hey guys !

I’m running Ubuntu-MATE 15.04 on a Rasberry Pi 2 and I have some problems when using pulseaudio.

It’s very simple, I just want to connect a bluetooth speaker to my Pi (as I’ve done many times on my computer with Ubuntu) and play music. I had no problem connecting the bluetooth speaker to the Pi (with bluez) but Pulseaudio didn’t detect my device (when using pacmd list sinks / cards). I’m very familiar with Ubuntu (not the Pi version) and Pulseaudio and I’ve already tried many things. I compared the pulseaudio loaded modules on both my computer and my Pi and there are exactly the same (of course, the bluetooth discover module is loaded…).

I have no idea how to solve this problem and, because the pulseaudio configurations on my computer and the Pi seem to be identical (and it’s working on my computer), I was thinking that maybe it could come from the Ubuntu Mate Pi version.

Thanks a lot !!

Ubuntu MATE 15.10 for Raspberry Pi 2 is out tomorrow amd includes a heap of fixes for Bluetooth :slight_smile:

Okay thanks ! I will try that :slight_smile:
