"bluetooth" is the correct device: hardy2@hardy2-laptop:~$ cat .asoundrc pcm.bluetooth { type bluetooth device 00:21:67:80:02:5E profile "auto" }hardy2@hardy2-laptop:~$ And "aplay -D bluetooth -f S16_LE test.wav" works.</blockquote><div> Hi, Have you tried supplying a complete path to alsamixer for the device? I've had that issue once or twice. It also sounds possible that alsamixer may not want to play well with bluetooth drivers. I don't have an alternative for you at the moment, but I'm looking into this for myself as well, so as I find updates I'll keep you informed... Regards, Jack </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> -- Dotan Cohen <a href="http://what-is-what.com" target="_blank">http://what-is-what.com</a> <a href="http://gibberish.co.il" target="_blank">http://gibberish.co.il</a> א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> </div>
