[SOLVED] Choppy sound using Bluetooth (Zero 2 W)

[citro]

I decided to experiment a little.

Simple setup: Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and a bluetooth speaker.

I am not savvy on linux / command line and I get a lot of help from here: https://www.sigmdel.ca/michel/ha/rpi/blu...02_en.html

Tonight I did the following:
1. fresh Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64bit install (using the official Raspberry Pi Imager)
2.

Code:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

3. reboot
4. I don't know why, but it was included in the guide above

Code:

sudo adduser pi bluetooth

5. add pulseaudio package

Code:

sudo apt install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

6. reboot
7. connect to BT speaker using bluetoothctl (scan for spearker / connect to speaker)
8. install mpg123

Code:

sudo apt install mpg123

9. mount a Samba share from my NAS
10. play an MP3 from the share, using mpg123

Code:

mpg123 path_to_samba_mount/mp3_file

The music sounds decent. Some choppy output, but way ahead of Moode.
