Re: My Solution: Hardy 8.04 and Bluetooth headsets
Hi,
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I followed the instructions from the first post. I also did in combination with blueman. So, I can connect the headset. It's listed as device under audio services. Even in ALSA and skype it is recognized.
Anyway, I don't get any sound from or to the headphone. Not even with the commands from the first post (arecord and so on).
I am using Hardy 8.04 on a 64 bit base.
Please help me.
Re: My Solution: Hardy 8.04 and Bluetooth headsets
Well, a little bit further along now. Using Blueman I can get Skype to give me audio output, but it won't accept input. When I try to add audio input service for my headset in Blueman, it tells me that's not supported. A blatant lie because it works in Vista!
Re: My Solution: Hardy 8.04 and Bluetooth headsets
Just joining the thread. I followed the instructions and Skype just hangs in the options menu when I select audio. When I delete/rename asoundrc, Skype comes back again. Using Zaapa ZA-BT06A1 headset
Contents of asoundrc
pcm.bluetooth {
type bluetooth
device 00:11:B1:09:96:AC
profile "auto"
}
The device ID is correct
Thanks

Seems I spoke too soon. My device ID was not correct. I installed Blueman - looks usefull. I set Skype audio options to bluetooth and sound in works intermittently - the device keeps disconnecting.

This is pretty much what I did to get my plantronics 590 headset working but it interferes with my bluetooth mouse anyone know a fix? (floating mouse, sound stops etc)
Thanks

I'm beginning to see why Bill Gates is so wealthy...
I would pay right now to get Bluetooth to work in Ubuntu!
Re: My Solution: Hardy 8.04 and Bluetooth headsets

Re: My Solution: Hardy 8.04 and Bluetooth headsets
to all of you who have been complaining about my solution involving blueman and that other file that goes in /home... You're right, I can't get skype to work with it either now that I'm on Hardy. Maybe we could solve this in this thread?
Re: My Solution: Hardy 8.04 and Bluetooth headsets
Yeah, everything worked fine for me in Gutsy - didn't even have to do much to get it going.... Nothing works since the upgrade though, very frustrating as I had jut finished mouthing off to a windows user who had loads of difficulty with BT and XP...
I can certainly see the device when it's in pairing mode, it just wont pair (using the GUI's)
[edit] Well, I've made some progress, turns out this was partly my fault. I'd disabled the bluetooth-manager as a startup program (in "Sessions"), and starting it manually doesn't seem to be very useful.
So now no software complains and I appear to have a successful pairing, but I can only hear stuff, when I record into the mic I just get noise out the other end... Looking at that seperately

I have a Plantronics 590E in combination with an Apple Mighty Mouse and had stuttering sound, too, when the mouse was switched on. I solved this by changing two items in my /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf: line "lm accept" into "lm master" and removed the entry "rswitch" in the line "lp ..." (link policy). Have a look at my complete hcid.conf http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/226656/ in the german ubuntu forum. Good Luck!
