Moode 8.2.2 (arm 64) bluetooth issues - audioDrax - 11-05-2022
Hi all,
New to the forum and moode in general, been using it since 24th Oct. A nice bit of kit so far but having some trouble with bluetooth headphones.
Using moode 8.2.2 bluetooth playback not working after connecting Sony WF-1000XM4 headphones.
Turned on bluetooth, paired and connected fine to the headphones, and changed to bluetooth playback mode.
Volume was changed slowly from 0-100%.
headphone disconnect after about 30 secs or everytime the volume is changed or menu selected.
No sound is outputted via the bluetooth headphones.
I came from volumio as their bluetooth is behind a paid wall, I have not tested these headphones with that player but I have used them on tablet, phone and PC all without issue and working as expected.
The Pi is a 4, with khadas Tone Board DAC via USB, this output mode works perfectly with Moode.
Is there something I am missing with bluetooth setup? I have been through and changed every setting I can with no change in the output audio (or lack of) via bluetooth.
I appreciate the help.
Thanks

Reboot and post the startup log and status of the Bluetooth daemon after the issue occurs.
Code:
moodeutl -l
systemctl status bluetoothDisconnections can be caused by weak signal strength which can result if the Pi is in a metal enclosure,

lines 1-21/21 (END)The Pi does live in a Flirc full aluminium case, the area I am testing it is about 2 feet away from the headphones. The wifi is the same distance away and works well with full signal strength; although I disabled that and use a wired connection for network.
thanks

It's best to get a baseline with the settings at their shipped defaults so try turning on WiFi and also take the board out of the case to be sure.
If the issue still occurs then it's possible there is a compatibility problem between that particular headphone device and Pi/Linux/Bluetooth.

I'll try reinstalling the OS tomorrow and see what I can achieve.
RE: Moode 8.2.2 (arm 64) bluetooth issues - audioDrax - 11-08-2022
Tried a fresh install, and also removing from the case with no change. Will look at other music players and maybe a bluetooth dongle as people have had luck with those on other players

Try PiCorePlayer. The PcP crew does a great job with their software.
RE: Moode 8.2.2 (arm 64) bluetooth issues - TheOldPresbyope - 11-09-2022
@audioDrax
Have you updated the firmware on your WF-1000XM4s? at least to 1.3.0 and preferably to the latest which seems to be 1.4.2?
Among benefits of the updated firmware listed by Sony are
Quote:Improves the stability of Bluetooth connection and music playback
Updating is specifically mentioned in their support section as pertaining to issues with Windows 10 which suggests to me it might pertain also to Linux.
I'm amazed at the amount of technology baked into these tiny earbuds.
My full-size Sennheiser noise-cancelling wireless headphones have performed well against either the on-board RPi bluetooth transmitter or my Creative Tech USB BT-W2 adapter but the Sennheiser has different internal technology so it's not a straight comparison.
All Bluetooth audio products must support the SBC codec. If you choose to get an external Bluetooth adapter try to find one that also supports the additional ALAC codec present in the WF-1000XM4. If you still have young ears you should be able to hear the difference. (By comparison, the Creative Tech BT-W2 and newer support the additional aptX codec present in my Sennheiser.)

Kent

I already downloaded piCorePlayer and will give it a whirl today. Thanks

Thanks Kent. I will look into this and see what version I have on them.
