I am having trouble getting pygame to stream audio to a Bluetooth speaker using bluealsa, other programs such as aplay and mpd work completely fine however when initialising pygame's mixer it will usually throw an error being:
pygame.error: Couldn't set hardware audio parameters: Success
Following this any other programs attempting to play audio will break. The output of aplay:
aplay: set_params:1403: Unable to install hw params:

asound config:
defaults.bluealsa.service "org.bluealsa"
defaults.bluealsa.device "00:11:67:11:14:7A"
defaults.bluealsa.profile "a2dp"
defaults.bluealsa.delay 10000
pcm.!default bluealsa
ctl.!default bluealsa
I'm hoping someone will a little more knowledge about bluealsa might be able to help.
*I have already seen the article on the Raspberry Pi exchange however it doesn't provide any answers an is quite a few years old
** This has also been posted on the unix / linux exchange
Thanks in advance.
