Hi,

Due to a mistake in the image build config the 8.3.2 image has the older 3.0.0 version of bluez-alsa.

Code:
pi@moode:~ $ dpkg -l | grep bluez-alsa
hi  bluez-alsa-utils                     3.0.0-2moode1                     arm64        Bluetooth Audio ALSA Backend (utils)

To install the correct version run the commands below.

Code:
sudo apt update
sudo moode-apt-mark unhold
sudo apt -y install bluez-alsa-utils=4.0.0-2moode1
sudo apt -y install libasound2-plugin-bluez=4.0.0-2moode1
sudo moode-apt-mark hold

ETA: added 
apt update
libasound2-plugin-bluez=4.0.0-2moode1

@Tim Curtis 

I'm not sure what's going on here. None of my test players show the older version. To make sure I hadn't somehow updated them, I just flashed a fresh moOde from the file I downloaded on Apr22:

image_2023-04-21-moode-r832-arm64-lite.zip

After first boot, yada yada yada...

Code:
             Release 8.3.2 2023-04-21

If I proceed to "upgrade" the two packages using your provided commands I see amongst the output


Code:
...
The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
 bluez-alsa-utils

which means nothing got changed in this process.

So the order of bluez-alsa-utils versions offered is: 4.0.0-2moode1+codecs, 4.0.0-2moode1, and, finally, 3.0.0-2moode1

Hence, the attempted downgrade when I tried your commands.

The package below does not exist in our Cloudsmith repo so I'm not sure how it's showing up in your list.
4.0.0-2moode1+codecs

I downloaded the image file directly from the github repo a month ago. I haven't changed anything to the flashed image other than set userid/pw and wifi parameters using RPi Imager.

About to go to a picnic so can't dig further until late today.

This is my output. Always updated to 8.3.2 (some time ago) online on the device itself (that is: not yet flashed any new image needing specify username / pwd / ssh. etc.)
The +codecs is nowhere to be seen in my setup...

@Nutul that is with an online update.
I believe Tim is trying to say that it is only an issue with non upgraded image.

Correct. On a fresh image the older 3.0.0 version of bluez-alsa is present.

Code:
