imx6ULEVK Audio Source

[boontiongtan]

Hi,

Board: imx6ULEVK

RF: Murata 1DX combo 

Kernel: 3.14.52-1.1.1

BlueZ: v5.28

I want to stream music from board to an external bluetooth speaker (Sony SRS-BTM8). I was able to pair and connect with the speaker using bluetoothctl. I used pulseaudio to attempt a stream but failed. I noticed something which I haven't been able to resolve. When I do a "pactl list sinks short", I got the below:

0 alsa_output.platform-sound.14.analog-stereo module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 48000Hz SUSPENDED
1 bluez_sink.8C_DE_52_1E_3C_F9 module-bluez5-device.c s16le 1ch 8000Hz SUSPENDED

The BIG question is why did my speaker appear as a "1ch 8000Hz" device? I was expecting the description to be something like "2ch 44100Hz".

I believed this was the main reason why I failed to stream. 

Does it got to do with the fact that my bluetooth speaker also support handsfree? Any advice here? 

Regards,

BT

Please try to choose sound device with pressing F6 in AlsaMixer interface.

Have a great day,

The correct device was selected in Alsamixer but the issue is still there. This is what I got:

paplay -vvv Goodbye.wav

Connection established.

Any advice?
