I can't use audio analog or bluetooth
it is not possible, I already did the basic configuration of both analog and bluetooth, I want to project with hdmi but capture the sound in another way
By analog do you mean the built-in 3.5mm headphone jack? pikaraoke should output from both the headphone jack and HDMI simulataneously.
As for bluetooth, you could try changing line 343 in karaoke.py from: output = "alsa:hw:0,0" if self.alsa_fix else "both" to: output = "alsa" if self.alsa_fix else "alsa"
If that works let me know and I can add a command line option for bluetooth.
I made the indicated change but it didn't work to play via bluetooth, any other tips?
This may be the same as my own configuration. I use HDMI for video only, and send audio via Bluetooth to a wireless mic base unit as a mixer. I did need to mess around with the underlying Pi settings to get it to work properly. I'll see if I can dig out what my changes involved.
One thing worth trying. I've found that even though the Pi Bluetooth connection with the mixer/receiver is reported as complete on each Pi power-up, it doesn't get any audio until I manually select another Bluetooth device from the Pi desktop Bluetooth menu right-click dropdown, then re-select the mixer/receiver device. After doing that I can launch PiKaraoke and the audio works fine. I've yet to figure out a proper fix for this, as this is preventing me from running PiKaraoke fully headless (as I need to interact with the desktop every power-up). EDIT: There was already a comment under an earlier issue (#17, since Closed) which mentioned this, but I reckon it's really a Pi setup issue rather than a PiKaraoke app issue.

Something I just discovered tonight is that if it's in this "Bluetooth not really connected" condition, if I go to the PiKaraoke Home screen and alternate between the Play and Pause buttons while a track is (silently) running, I can get brief {much less than 1/4 second} snippets of sound from the Bluetooth speaker.
This is just an observation that someone might recognise as a symptom or clue to some configuration anomaly. If you're also able to get this behaviour then it would suggest w share the same problem.
