In function startSps() make the following edit to the else block. Comment out the existing $device line and then add the new one that specifies 'bitstream' as the device.

Code:

    else {
        //$device = 'plughw:' . $array[0]['value'];
        $device = 'btstream';
    }

Here's the complete function.

Code:

function startSps() {
    // verbose logging
    if ($_SESSION['debuglog'] == '1') {
        $logging = '-vv';
        $logfile = '/var/log/shairport-sync.log';
    }
    else {
        $logging = '';
        $logfile = '/dev/null';
    }

    // get device num
    $array = sdbquery('select value from cfg_mpd where param="device"', cfgdb_connect());
    $device = $array[0]['value'];

    if ($_SESSION['alsaequal'] != 'Off') {
        $device = 'alsaequal';
    }
    elseif ($_SESSION['eqfa4p'] != 'Off') {
        $device = 'eqfa4p';
    }
    else {
        //$device = 'plughw:' . $array[0]['value'];
        $device = 'btstream';
    }

    // interpolation param handled in config file
    $cmd = '/usr/local/bin/shairport-sync ' . $logging .
        ' -a "' . $_SESSION['airplayname'] . '" ' .
        //'-w -B /var/local/www/commandw/spspre.sh -E /var/local/www/commandw/spspost.sh ' .
        '-- -d ' . $device . ' > ' . $logfile . ' 2>&1 &';

    debugLog('worker: (' . $cmd . ')');
    sysCmd($cmd);
}

if it works for you maybe I can look at adding this capability for upcoming moOde 6.6.0.

What Pi and what kind of WiFi adapter?

Try just an Airplay connection and see if the issue occurs.

You would try playing your source (Tidal, etc) via Airplay to some speakers connected to Pi. This would take the Bluetooth connection out of the picture.
