TheOldPresbyopeI don't have access to a Sonos Roam speaker but I do to a Sonos Move Speaker. This model also have both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity.
The Move has been updated to latest OS (aka firmware).
Testing just now with a moOde 8.2.4 player (updated from 8.2.3) on a Pi3A, I successfully scanned and paired with both devices
Try connecting to the JBL
...and I can play to it.
Now, try connecting to the Sonos
Huh. The connection process reports success but the connection itself doesn't show up??? This isn't right. (Note: I'm working directly with the Bluetooth subsystem here so it isn't an error that the JBL shows up still in this test, only that the Sonos doesn't.)
Maybe I'll get time later to explore further with low-level tools but this doesn't look like a moOde issue per se. This is the first Bluetooth-enabled speaker or headphone I haven't been able to use with moOde.

Thanks to you and Tim for all your help. A question under Bluetooth control do you set the pairing agent on? I have noticed a few odd things - I need to turn off HDMI to get Spotify to work and I still have issues with the sound output. I have this set to Software but to use Spotify with output to Moode Spotify I have to check my laptop audio is set high otherwise although I have a controller for the audio output (it's a Naim amp) that does not work. I will keep trying to get the Roam to connect - it connects so quickly to my macbook, iphone and ipad that I have to switch the bluetooth off on these devices otherwise I think it's paired to Moode only to find it's connected to my Apple devices! But I do have a backup - the Arcam Miniblink works so I can plug the audio from that into the Braven and that works! I will post if I ever get the Roam to connect. Thanks again.
