I don't have a powered hub. I've no idea why a hub is listed. So, the data cable of the Y lead is plugged into the pi. The power cable of the Y is attached to a power adapter with 5v 2.4 amp. Bluetooth is active for output to bt headphones (which works brilliantly). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ castalla's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15624 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47288 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
