Bluetooth Airpods A2DP

#1 Post by G77 »

HI

What is the better way to get A2DP to work on MX-Fluxbox ?

please see this wiki :
https://wiki.debian.org/BluetoothUser/a2dp#PulseAudio

if I go with the PipeWire method looks like all the require packages are installed.. and the Airpods can not play in stereo..

if I go with the PulseAudio method then it going to remove:
Pipewiew-alsa
pipewire-setup-mx
and install: pulseaudio,,,,
this methode works but the volume icon will not be able to adjust bluetooth volume and the only working solution will be Kmix which has no volume bar in the notification area....

I would like to get the pipewire method to work and to keep the system as is,,
they write:
PipeWire will attempt to choose the best possible codec by default. You can override this, and tweak many other related settings, in the /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/bluez-monitor.conf file. You can edit this directly, or store local per-user changes by copying the file to ~/.config/pipewire/media-session.d/bluez-monitor.conf and editing that instead. You can check the currently-used codec with pactl list sinks

ALSA only


but those files and location does not exist :
/etc/pipewire/media-session.d/bluez-monitor.conf
~/.config/pipewire/media-session.d/bluez-monitor.conf


any idea ??

Do you have the latest version of pipewire? There is an updated version in MX Package Installer | Test Repo tab - I have had several people install all of the pipewire there (just search for pipewire) and it has fixed a few issues.
*QSI = Quick System Info from menu (Copy for Forum)
*MXPI = MX Package Installer
*Please check the solved checkbox on the post that solved it.
*Linux -This is the way!
