Hi, I have a fresh install of Raspberry Pi OS (2020-06-03) and latest BT-Speaker install. After running bt_speaker.service I get this message:
pi@raspberrypi:/opt/bt-speaker $ ./bt_speaker.service ./bt_speaker.service: line 1: [Unit]: command not found ./bt_speaker.service: line 4: [Service]: command not foun ./bt_speaker.service: line 11: [Install]: command not found
Am I running the service wrong or it is not working properly? Running bt_spearker.py does not work either.
pi@raspberrypi:/opt/bt-speaker $ ./bt_speaker.py Unable to find mixer control PCM,0 [hw:0] aplay: read_header:2834: read error
I am running Raspberry Pi 3 B+
try change in /opt/bt_speaker/config.ini line
mixer = PCM
to something else (use alsamixer or amixer for example)
on armbian\orangepipc i set mixer=Line Out
and it works fine(case sensitive)
So I've just updated my Pi via the apt repos on buster and the bluez packages + the kernel and firmware have all been updated.
Seems to have broken this project. Goes into a restart loop with the service status as:
● bt_speaker.service - "Simple bluetooth speaker for the Raspberry Pi" Loaded: loaded (/opt/bt-speaker/bt_speaker.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: start-limit-hit) since Wed 2020-06-03 15:38:35 IST; 1min 45s ago Process: 905 ExecStart=/opt/bt-speaker/bt_speaker.py (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 905 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Jun 03 15:38:35 raspberrypi systemd[1]: bt_speaker.service: Service RestartSec=100ms expired, scheduling restart.

i have the exact same problem with raspbian
in case of any errors try start application without systemctl(to see whats wrong)
systemctl stop bt_speaker
/opt/bt-speaker/bt_speaker.py
in case of any errors try start application without systemctl(to see whats wrong)
systemctl stop bt_speaker /opt/bt-speaker/bt_speaker.py
tried it got the error what Jonas got tried your solution again yet it still reads out that error
Unable to find mixer control PCM,0 [hw:0] aplay: read_header:2834: read error
also the config.ini was named config.ini.default
but whatever
tried after renaming to config.ini
still the same
and this is my config file
[bt_speaker]
play_command = aplay -f cd -
connect_command = /etc/bt_speaker/hooks/connect
disconnect_command = /etc/bt_speaker/hooks/disconnect
startup_command = /etc/bt_speaker/hooks/startup
track_command = /etc/bt_speaker/hooks/track
[bluez]
device_path = /org/bluez/hci0
discoverable = yes
pin_code = 0000
[alsa]
enabled = yes
mixer = alsamixer
id = 0
cardindex = 0
run
amixer|grep control
for example mine output is
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
Simple mixer control 'Speaker',0
Simple mixer control 'PCM',0
Simple mixer control 'Mic',0
Simple mixer control 'Mic Boost',0
Simple mixer control 'Capture',0
Simple mixer control 'Auto-Mute Mode',0
Simple mixer control 'Internal Mic',0
Simple mixer control 'Internal Mic Boost',0
Simple mixer control 'Loopback Mixing',0
so in [alsa] section i can write that mixer=Master, or mixer=PCM, or mixer=Speaker
file location is '/etc/bt_speaker/config.ini' default file you edit location is '/opt/bt_speaker/config.ini.default'
I tried amixer|grep control
and got
Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
so i edited the file in /etc/bt_speaker/config.ini
and tried but got a different error
root@raspberry:/opt/bt-speaker# sudo /opt/bt-speaker/bt_speaker.py
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
aplay: read_header:2834: read error
or this
pi@raspberry:~ $ /opt/bt-speaker/bt_speaker.py
Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)
aplay: read_header:2834: read error
NVM bro got it working after 2 hours of research and later found my Bluetooth service was broken and had to fix that its working now Thanks for your replys
Unable to find mixer control PCM,0 [hw:0]
I've tried a combo of different devices and the default alsa device is configured correctly (it works fine with other Alsa dependant services).

You were asking about Raspberry Pi 4. I had to do two things: Make sure that no HDMI is connected, as I found no way of enabling the analog audio output otherwise. There is some automatic switching ongoing by I don't know what.
When no HDMI is in use, amixer
tells me that the mixer name is Headphone
, so put that into /etc/bt_speaker/config.ini
:
[alsa]
mixer = Headphone
Finally got around to have a look at this. Can confirm this as broken.
Fixed by https://github.com/lukasjapan/bt-speaker/pull/87
It is now possible to set no mixer value to make bt-speaker use the first mixer available.
Thanks to everybody for feedback. It really helped to pinpoint the issue quickly and come up with a solution.
So I've just updated my Pi via the apt repos on buster and the bluez packages + the kernel and firmware have all been updated.
