I wanted to try out the Bluetooth function today on my Raspberry Pi 3. I turned on Bluetooth on the RPi3 and turned on Bluetooth on my headphones. It said can't connect to headphones try with sound system. So I did that, it connected. Then when I try playing a video, no sound comes out of my headphones.

Is there a fix?

yes, try these codes in terminal. First install blueman and pulseaudio.

sudo apt-get install blueman pulseaudio pavucontrol pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

then start pulseaudio

pulseaudio --start
bluetoothctl

the above code will give you the list of nearby bluetooth devices. now pair your headphones by these line

pair XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

replace you mac address of headphones as shown in the nearby list then

connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

if it is connected then it will show Connection successful these worked for me...

  • Sorry doesn't work for me. Everything worked until i tested it by watching a video. No audio came through. Guess will have to revert to a cord.
