First I need to tell I am very new to using raspberries and balena etc.
I get my way around fine with “everyday use” of computers though.
I just finished installing balenasound on a Pi3 A+, using this :
Everything went fine apparently except the bluetooth won’t start. Here is the log I get :
18.12.20 09:49:37 (+0100) bluetooth Starting bluetooth service with settings:
18.12.20 09:49:37 (+0100) bluetooth - Device name: balenaOS 7b11

18.12.20 09:49:37 (+0100) bluetooth Exiting… selected HCI interface is invalid: hci0
Can anyone tell me what’s wrong ?
I could get spotify to connect via airplay, this worked fine, sound is going all the way to my ears, which is ok for me since i have a macbook and an iphone but i would like anyone to be able to connect with bluetooth…
Thank you so much !
Hello again everyone, i ask again because my post seems to have sunk itself and nobody’s seen it !
Is there a possible explanation to my issue ? Thanks
There seems to be something wrong with your bluetooth device. Could you run systemctl status bluetooth in the terminal and let us know what the output is?
Hello Nico and thank you very much for your reply
I just turned on the Pi again (it has been off since my last post) and this morning bluetooth status is “running” I have no clue why this time it could turn on. Still, I did what you told and here is the result :
