I don’t have a pisound (yet) but have a lot of good synths on my phone. Can I route bluetooth audio through MODEP? I managed to pair my phone to it via the terminal but can’t get audio to go thru.
Alternatively, until I’m able to afford a pisound, could I use this to try running audio through it? Very cheap but provides a line level input to the pi:
For Bluetooth, you’d have to figure out how to enable such audio service on the OS, this may be relevant, but I haven’t ever tried to do this myself.
As for the USB audio adapter, I think it might work, you may reconfigure the audio card following this guide.
I managed to configure the onboard bluetooth on my rpi3, but audio is far from usable. It does a lot of skips. I would like to try again with an external bluetooth dongle, or with the next upgrade to Buster.
Below are my notes from the process, if it helps:
-Instructions based on: https://gist.github.com/mill1000/74c7473ee3b4a5b13f6325e9994ff84c
-Install bluealsa
-Edit file /etc/bluetooth/main.conf and set: Class = 0x200420
sudo bluetoothctl
discoverable on
(at this point you should be able to pair your phone to modep)
-Edit .asoundrc and copy to /root
