A friend gave me a Samsung SBH-500 headset. Browsing online suggests it is from 2008 or 2009.

Ah, silly me -- it did not occur to me Sony would get wrong something basic.



I have a good strong signal; as far as I know there's nothing suspect about the Bluetooth adapter; and I have a...

I checked with the AIRcable folks; they wrote back (quickly!) to say A2DP is not related to the adapter's firmware but runs on the Linux. They also suggest a lot of debug is available via BlueZ and...

Thanks, and some notes:


The headset is a Sony MW600. I do not see it on Sony's site, but another site from 2010 says it uses A2DP v1.0 -- I do not know if there were sub-models with other A2DP...

Somebody in another thread suggested adding Disable=Headset to /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf then restart bluetooth (sudo restart bluetooth). I did that and tried connecting the headset. It showed as...

I have a Bluetooth headset. When I turn it on, it is auto detected but I need to go to System Settings > Sound > Play sound through and click on the headset entry.

Yes, I was trying to debug another problem and had installed it. I just now uninstalled it, did a reboot, and the headset now connects automatically. Thanks!

Thanks! I unpaired the headset, but then sudo pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover exited with an error. I rebooted and then the command worked. At that point I re-paired the headset, and I...

I forgot to say: Ubuntu 14.04, 64-bit, all the latest stuff (according to Software Updater), and a pretty stock install.

So among other things: I think I am already running up-to-date drivers.

I have an Intel NUC with both an internal WiFi/Bluetooth adapter and an external Bluetooth adapter. With the internal adapter, I can turn on a Bluetooth headset and it auto-connects. With the...

Ah, not at all obvious but definitely safe, thanks.



I missed the -v option. In retrospect, I guess it was not obvious to me the internal Bluetooth would even be USB, there's also PCIe in...

Thanks! I was concerned about touching everything in /lib/firmware/intel, since there's a bunch of things in that directory and (no surprise) a bunch of Intel stuff on a NUC. Worst-case scenario, I...

What I did was:


Reboot
Plug in the Bluetooth USB dongle
Run the commands
