Connect Multiple Bluetooth Speakers

[only.palmero]

Hi team!


I'm trying to connect several bluetooth devices with Raspberry PI to use them as speakers.


However, the system only detects the first device that connects as a sound card, the rest keep the bluetooth synchronization active, but it does not interpret them as audio cards even though it is indicated by blueman-manager.


Is there anything I can do to keep all devices synchronized and supported as audio cards?


I've disabled the internal bluetooth by modifying the file /boot/config.txt adding the line dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt, then I used a bluetooth USB capable of connecting with multiple devices like the ASUS BT400. After pairing and connecting to the speakers, I launch the command pacmd list sinks and pactl list cards to see the configuration but I discover that Pulseaudio has only emulated the first device bluez.XX.XX.XX.XX ... .


I suppose the problem exists in the Bluez and PulseAudio modules. Can somebody help me?

Based on this stackoverflow question, it appears you are using RetroPie as an operating system.
