# Bluetooth® A2DP API

## Application Examples

- bluetooth/bluedroid/classic_bt/a2dp_sink demonstrates how to implement an audio sink device using the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) to receive audio streams. This example also shows how to use AVRCP for media information notifications and I2S for audio stream output.

- bluetooth/bluedroid/classic_bt/a2dp_source demonstrates how to use A2DP APIs to transmit audio streams.

- bluetooth/bluedroid/coex/a2dp_gatts_coex demonstrates how to use the ESP-IDF A2DP-GATTS_COEX demo to create a GATT service and A2DP profile.

### Functions

esp_err_t esp_a2d_register_callback(esp_a2d_cb_t callback)

  Register application callback function to A2DP module. This function should be called only after esp_bluedroid_enable() completes successfully, used by both A2DP source and sink.

  Parameters:

    callback -- [in] A2DP event callback function

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: success

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: if bluetooth stack is not yet enabled

    - ESP_FAIL: if callback is a NULL function pointer

esp_err_t esp_a2d_sink_register_data_callback(esp_a2d_sink_data_cb_t callback)

  Register A2DP sink data output function; For now the output is PCM data stream decoded from SBC format. This function should be called only after esp_bluedroid_enable() completes successfully, used only by A2DP sink. The callback is invoked in the context of A2DP sink task whose stack size is configurable through menuconfig.

  Parameters:

    callback -- [in] A2DP sink data callback function

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: success

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: if bluetooth stack is not yet enabled

    - ESP_FAIL: if callback is a NULL function pointer

esp_err_t esp_a2d_sink_init(void)

  Initialize the bluetooth A2DP sink module. This function should be called after esp_bluedroid_enable() completes successfully, and ESP_A2D_PROF_STATE_EVT with ESP_A2D_INIT_SUCCESS will reported to the APP layer. Note: A2DP can work independently. If you want to use AVRC together, you should initiate AVRC first. This function should be called after esp_bluedroid_enable() completes successfully.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: if the initialization request is sent successfully

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: if bluetooth stack is not yet enabled

    - ESP_FAIL: others

esp_err_t esp_a2d_sink_deinit(void)

  De-initialize for A2DP sink module. This function should be called only after esp_bluedroid_enable() completes successfully, and ESP_A2D_PROF_STATE_EVT with ESP_A2D_DEINIT_SUCCESS will reported to APP layer.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: if the deinitialization request is sent successfully

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: if bluetooth stack is not yet enabled

    - ESP_FAIL: others

esp_err_t esp_a2d_sink_connect(esp_bd_addr_t remote_bda)
