Volume control from LMS should work fine.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Playing Bluetooth audio via piCorePlayer
Hi! I use Picoreplayer to play audio from LMS and sometimes from Windows PC via bluetooth. Everything works fine, except that when using bluetooth, the volume is always at 100% regardless of volume slider position in windows. PCP runs on RSB 3B+ equipped with Iqaudio amp+. Is there any way to solve this problem from piCorePlayer? Thanks.

I have discovered that the Tibo speakers have a USB socket at the back. I thought this was for a music / data connection but apparently it is just 2.4 amp power output socket designed to charge your phone. This was not being used by anybody else, so I have sneaked my Raspberry Pi based player (piCorePlayer) into the kitchen and hidden it behind the speaker. It is powered by the USB socket so no extra power brick / wall wart is needed and I bought a very dinky 6 inch RCA cable to connect to one of the two line level inputs in the back of the Tibo speakers. So discrete I don't think anybody else has noticed yet! Cleverly the Tibo speakers have an auto-sensing function which turns them on automatically when they sense a music signal at one of the inputs - either bluetooth, or RCA. Very clever. Shame the sound quality is rather average.

I recently > swapped a kitchen amp for an all in one class D with Bluetooth, and it > works pretty well. -Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk- I find there is a problem with these basic Bluetooth enabled amps, or even the RPi for that matter, there is no easy way to disconnect one phone and pair another. You have to disconnect at the phone end. It really needs a dedicated button on the amp to release the Bluetooth connection so it can be paired with a new device while the previously connected one is still in range. We had a party at Christmas where somebody brought a Bose Bluetooth speaker along. Everyone was choosing music on their phones and we were swapping the Bluetooth continually between one phone and another. There was a simple button on the speaker that enabled that. I have resigned myself to getting another power brick, dongle and set of RCA cables which will require me to switch inputs manually on the amp. Times are changing anyway. Disappointingly the rest of the family have kicked out the Squeezebox from the kitchen (along with neat little Class D amp and excellent B speakers) in favour of a pair of Tibo active speakers with Bluetooth. They have another two inputs but the family don't want the clutter of more boxes and cables so I am now down to my last Squeezebox - in the living room attached to my proper Naim system that only I listen to. What it boils down to is everybody "curates" their own music on their own phone (in our case via a Spotify family account) and they simply want to swap from listening on headphones to listening on a speaker, or pair of speakers. They don't want the hassle of opening up a different app on their phone, then the Spotty app in LMS, then going to their library just to get to Spotify to listen to the music on speakers that they were already listening to on headphones. We are getting a home extension which will release one of the bedrooms to be a study. Hopefully I will be allowed to reinstate the Squeezebox system there!

As alternative for Airplay and BT Audio input, I use DLNA. Samsung phones have the cast build into the player. the older ones at least. Other phones need one of the free DLNA apps.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Playing Bluetooth audio via piCorePlayer
There is already support for bluez-alsa on pcp - see 'here' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?108037-Experimental-Bluetooth-Speaker-support-in-piCorePlayer-3-22) bluez-alsa supports both playback to and recording from a bluetooth device, however, it seems the setup for recording isn't included in the pcp package, so this would have to be done manually.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Playing Bluetooth audio via piCorePlayer
It's a bit of a black art getting the Bluetooth stack to do anything useful on Linux, so the odds of getting a working Bluetooth audio receiver in software on a bluetooth-equipped rpi3 is low. So you are still looking at a secondary Bluetooth receiver with PSU.

I can always add a dongle to the amp but that is another input to the amp, another power supply, another box and a manual switch when I want to flip between LMS and BT. PCP on the RPi already offers Apple Airplay which is run as a separate process outside of LMS and means I can play audio from my iPad to the amp with no extra hardware and no switching (I use it for playing Audible books).
