Bluetooth on RasPi3B+ not working - BoblK54 - 01-13-2022
I am totally frustrated by the Bluetooth setup. Hasn't worked in the last 10 months - which is when I started.
Rasberry Pi 3B+ and an Allo DAC Version 1.2 is my hardware
I have made a setting on the RasberryPi to separate the DAC and Rasberry PI power I'm using a Shanti linear power supply 5V 3A to the RasPI board and 5V 1A to the Allo DAC.. That is the ONLY change to the RasPI.
Here is what I have done.
starting a fresh version of the latest Version 7,
Menu, SYSTEM, it shows Bluetooth ON.
Go to AUDIO and turn on the Bluetooth Renderer, shows Moode Bluetooth, click on SET Moodeaudio does something and then says "RECONNECT" I click on RECONNECT and nothing happens. I reboot everthing and cannot connect at all.
I install a fresh image on the microSD card, start over and the same thing happens - every time.
I don't even get to BLUEZ to scan for my headphones.. I did try it once without turning on the Bluetooth renderer and nothing happened when scanned, which is what I expected.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
Thanks In advance for any help.

Reboot and then post the Moode startup log.

Hi Tim
This is a fresh install again. I can't reboot - it never connects after it stalls. This is the only way I know how to get it started again. This is before I switch to the I2S Allo DAC.
Thanks for helping me.

RE: Bluetooth on RasPi3B+ not working - the_bertrum - 01-13-2022
Does the Bluetooth adapter work? The symptoms you have are similar to those when Bluetooth is turned on but no adapter exists. Can you connect to it when running stock RaspiOS?

I don't see anything suspicious in the startup log.
To troubleshoot the issue described in your OP "After turning Bluetooth On in Audio Config the system becomes unresponsive" try the following.
1. Remove Allo Boss dac from Pi
2. Start with fresh 761 image
3. Boot up
4. Turn on Bluetooth renderer in Audio Config
If system becomes unresponsive do the following:
1. Power Off/On
2. Examine the Moode startup log and see if it is complete. There should be a last log entry "...Ready".

The Bluetooth is functioning properly without the Allo Boss DAC. I'm going to power everything down, install the DAC and see what happens. I'll report back on what happens.

After reinstalling the Allo Boss DAC everything is working correctly. I wonder why it would not function prior to the removal of the DAC? I will say the Bluetooth signal isn't the strongest one I have. Can external USB dongles be used with the MoOde audio software? I'm really only using Bluetooth at night so I don't wake my wife up with my speakers. Using Focal headphones which pair pretty easily with everything I have. It took me a couple of tries to get the headphones paired and connected to the Pi. Now it connects every time and returns to the DAC board when disconnected.
THANK YOU. Frustration has ended.
