[Solved] Bluetooth headset isn't working after system upgrade

Question

Hi!
I've just upgraded my system (I do it once a weak), but something happend with the bluetooth system. My headset (Arctic P311) is not working anymore. I use Blueman to connect as audio host (or audio sink, don't know wich is the correct translation from my language - connection as headset has never worked), but I can't make it work. Sometimes it connects, but has no audio output. It isn't showing up in the audio device list. I tried gnome-bluetooth, but bluetooth-applet just won't start, it shows only this message:
(bluetooth-applet:18463): Bluetooth-WARNING **: Could not open RFKILL control device, please verify your installation.
Today morning everything was fine.
If I try to connect it as audio host with blueman-manager, I get this message if it connects:
kernel: [ 2070.380198] input: 00:1A:7D:D0:98:00 as /devices/virtual/input/input27
and this if it doesn't:
bluetoothd[1064]: Host is down (112)
Why input device?
If I try to connect as headset, I get this:
bluetoothd[1064]: Endpoint replied with an error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod
There is no problem with the headset, it's working properly with a mobile.
What should I do?

I've just found another solution - add the line
Enable=Socket
in [General] section in /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf. Works with bluez 4.98 (meanwhile the package is flagged out of date).
It worked! Thanks!
But I need to question, won't this file regenerated after some updates?
