VitaDock+ needs A2DP support to play Bluetooth audio from the Vita through HDMI.

Many scripts to add Bluetooth playback to raspberry Pis are outdated or only support playback from your phone. To get Bluetooth from the Vita working we need bluez-alsa-utils which was removed from Bullseye official repos. Luckily it's being added back to Bookworm so to get it we just need to change our apt sources.

Install:

  1. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

  2. Change
    deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org.raspbian/ bullseye main contrib non-free rpi
    to
    deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org.raspbian/ bookworm main contrib non-free rpi

  3. sudo apt update

  4. sudo apt install bluez-alsa-utils -y

  5. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

  6. Change back to the way it was

  7. sudo apt update

  8. sudo reboot now

To change the name broadcasted run sudo hostnamectl set-hostname "VitaDock+" --pretty.
