Question: Does Bluetooth Output use the Audio output from the DAC Hat?

[Wheel_nut]

If the USB transmitter declares itself to be an audio device then you should be good to go.

Example: I have a Creative Tech BT-W2 Bluetooth Audio transmitter.

In moOde's MPD Config panel, this shows up in the dropdown list of output devices. Select it and I'm transmitting audio to my Sennheiser BT headphones.

Note that the default plughw ALSA output mode is pretty much a necessity with this device since it recognizes 16bit /48kHz output rate only.

Hi Kent, It does indeed appear as "Wireless Music Adapter" in the MPD Config dropdown and I now have it working to my Bose Sounddock over Bluetooth. Yes, I know that it is a bit like putting a Jaguar V12 Engine into a Cement Mixer but I have the satisfaction of upcycling a RPi 1B to replace a tinny bedroom Radio.

I intend to have a play with the Multi-room feature of the upcoming v7.4 but for now, I have a very neat solution bodged from the contents of my toybox and without using the on-board DAC of the RPI 1B.

Thanks to you and Tim for taking the time to understand my simplistic explanation of what I was trying to do.
