    Unhappy Bluetooth Headset Connection Issue

    Hey guys, I recently bought a bluetooth headset for my laptop but can't seem to connect them and receive errors.

    Some Specs:
    Lubuntu 17.04 Zesty
    Acer Aspire V5 Laptop
    Treblab XR100 Headset

    What happens is, I turn on the "BlueTooth Manager" program, click pair and 3 blue, green and orange indicators come up but after a few seconds disappear. So I run the setup assistant in the same program and try to set it up as a "headset". After it seems to set things up and I hear a tone in my headset I get the error "Device added successfully, but failed to connect".

    As a last resort I attempt again by clicking at the top of the Bluetooth Devices box options: Device -> Headset and get this error at the bottom of the Bluetooth Manager box:

    "Connection Failed: blueman.bluez.errors.DBusFail"


    *I've tried a few fixes that I've found in searches but I always get the same error.

    The headset works perfectly with my tablet, phone (Android 5) and on Windows 7,10.


    Any advice?

    I think that happens when the module-bluetooth-discover is not loaded in pactl, check in terminal with
    Code:
    pactl list short | grep module-bluetooth

    Is that the correct code? I copy it into terminal and do not get anything. Retried with headset after and get the same problem.

    It just comes unpaired after a few seconds.

    Re: Bluetooth Headset Connection Issue

    That means no module-bluetooth-discover is loaded, do
    Code:
    pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
    Then reconnect to the headset

    ah ok, I tried the new code above and got this error: "Failure: Module initialization failed"
    I also must add that I have tried in the past another extra USB Wireless Bluetooth CSR 4.0 Dongle Adapter (which I use on my Windows PC) with the same results as my laptop's onboard bluetooth.

    Re: Bluetooth Headset Connection Issue

    I would try
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
    pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover

    Thanks for all the help jeremy. I have tried this is the past and I can't seem to connect to get the download but it seems I am missing this bluetooth module. Here is what terminal read out when I popped that code in:

    The following NEW packages will be installed:
    pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

    Re: Bluetooth Headset Connection Issue

    That is why you get an error, 17.04 isn't supported anymore

    Re: Bluetooth Headset Connection Issue

    After you disconnect you might need help getting audio again, I use the a2dp.py script, https://gist.github.com/pylover/d68b...87b85e6ed6e7ae
    I think you need to edit the first line to use python 3.6
