Hi Community.

I have using 8MMINILPD4-EVK with 4.14.78-sumo.

I tryed pairing with iPhone via A2DP and btusb, it's OK. but codec is still SBC. I want to use AAC.

I think it would be possible to change the BlueZ settings, but does anyone know the correct settings?

The connection log is as follows. BlueZ seems to recognize AAC, but it looks like it is going to connect with SBC.

Hello,

Unfortunately, this problem is more related to the BlueZ codec we do not have this type of information. I have found some external driver of PulseAudio that has the support of the AAC codec. However, we cannot guarantee if this will work. I apologize for the inconveniences this could give you.

Best regards,

Diego.

Hi all

I'll write to the point I understand so far.

  • bitbake pulseaudio-modules-bt
    • you can create bb files by recipetool as follows.
    • recipetool create -o pulseaudio-modules-bt.bb -S 765766c4efc6c71b353247a9875f19fce9ba1e1b https://github.com/EHfive/pulseaudio-modules-bt.git

    • And you needs to modify CMakeList.txt for ninja (replace $ -> $$ and set ${PulseAudio_LIBDIR} to correct path).
    • With the settings above, "bitbake pulseaudio-modules-bt" creates * .so files, but an error occurs because the pulse audio and output file name are the same.
    • I replaced the file in the target board by scp command , but still no sound........

Best Regards,
