+title: Setting up bluetooth audio with PulseAudio - A2DP only
+subject: Bluetooth
+---
+
+### Overview
+  Debian jessie is using BlueZ 5 and PluseAudio 5, which are fairly new.  
+  There were major breaking changes in these versions.  
+  Most stuff you find on the Internet will be for BlueZ 4 and PulseAudio 4,  
+  so watch out, those configurations may not work.  
+
+  BlueZ 5 dropped support for alsa, see [note 1],  
+  so the solution for now is to use PulseAudio, until someone updates some bluez-alsa project for BlueZ 5.  
+
+  PulseAudio 5 only supports the A2DP profile and not HSP/HFP see [note 2],  
+  although it is under development see [note 3].  
+
+  The A2DP profile supports:
+  `UUID: Audio Source`  
+  `UUID: Audio Sink`  
+
+### How to get PulseAudio working with Bluetooth 
+  **This should all be done as root**  
+
+1 Install pulseaudio:  
+
+`apt-get install --no-install-recommends pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-bluetooth`
+
+2 Create a systemd service for running pulseaudio as the pulse user.  
+  Save the following lines as `/etc/systemd/system/pulseaudio.service`  
+```  
+[Unit]  
+Description=Pulse Audio  
+
+[Service]  
+Type=simple  
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/pulseaudio --system --disallow-exit --disable-shm  
+```
+  and reload systemd with `systemctl daemon-reload`
+
+3 Give the `pulse` user permission to use Bluetooth.  
+  Save the following lines to `/etc/dbus-1/system.d/pulseaudio-bluetooth.conf`  
+```
+<busconfig>
+
+ <policy user="pulse">  
+  <allow send_destination="org.bluez"/>  
+ </policy>  
+
+</busconfig>  
+```
+
+
+4 Paste the following lines to the **end** of `/etc/pulse/system.pa`:  
+```
+### Automatically load driver modules for Bluetooth hardware  
+.ifexists module-bluetooth-policy.so  
+load-module module-bluetooth-policy  
+.endif  
+
+.ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so  
+load-module module-bluetooth-discover  
+.endif  
+```
+
+5 Start the systemd service: `systemctl start pulseaudio.service`
+
+6 Run bluetoothctl to connect the device.  
+  You only need to do the pairing stuff once. 
+  Be sure to substitute the address of the actual device your are connecting to.  
+  Here are the commands:
+```  
+agent on  
+default-agent  
+scan on  
+pair 11:11:11:11:11:11  
+trust 11:11:11:11:11:11  
+connect 11:11:11:11:11:11  
+```  
+7 Now, you should be able to play sound from a remote device on your EV3 without any further configuration.
+
+8 To play sound from the EV3 on a remote device, there are a few more steps.  
+  * add `root` and your own non-root user(s) to the `audio` and `pulse-access` groups:  
+      `usermod -a -G pulse-access,audio root`  
+      `usermod -a -G pulse-access,audio myuser`  
+
+  * Run `pactl list cards`.  
+    The end of the output should look something like this:  
+```  
+            Card #1  
+                Name: bluez_card.00_17_E7_BD_1C_8E  
+                Driver: module-bluez5-device.c  
+                Owner Module: 14  
+                Properties:  
+                    device.description = "BlueZ 5.23"  
+                    device.string = "00:17:E7:BD:1C:8E"  
+                    device.api = "bluez"  
+                    device.class = "sound"  
+                    device.bus = "bluetooth"  
+                    bluez.path = "/org/bluez/hci0/dev_00_17_E7_BD_1C_8E"  
+                    bluez.class = "0x0c0000"  
+                    bluez.alias = "BlueZ 5.23"  
+                    device.icon_name = "audio-card-bluetooth"  
+                Profiles:  
+                    a2dp_source: High Fidelity Capture (A2DP Source) (sinks: 0, sources: 1, priority: 10, available: yes)  
+                    a2dp: High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink) (sinks: 1, sources: 0, priority: 10, available: yes)  
+                    off: Off (sinks: 0, sources: 0, priority: 0, available: yes)  
+                Active Profile: a2dp  
+                Ports:  
+                    unknown-output: Bluetooth Output (priority: 0, latency offset: 0 usec)  
+                        Part of profile(s): a2dp  
+                    unknown-input: Bluetooth Input (priority: 0, latency offset: 0 usec)  
+                        Part of profile(s): a2dp_source  
+```  
+
+  * The active profile probably doesn't say `a2dp`, although in the output above it already has been set.
+    So set it by running:
+    `pactl set-card-profile 1 a2dp`  
+    The "1" in this command is the number of the BT card from the output above.  
+
+  9 Now you can play sound using paplay.  
+  Example:  
+  `paplay -d bluez_sink.00_17_E7_BD_1C_8E /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav`  
+  Possibly error messages like `xcb_connection_has_error() returned true` have been seen and not explained.  
+  But there seems to be no ill effect on BT audio.  
+  Using my simple non-root user I get:  
+      `Failed to create secure directory (/run/user/0/pulse): Permission denied`  
+      but playback **does** work.
