[SOLVED][Bluetooth Headset] Speaker works great, microphone not :(

Hello everyone,
Thanks to this topic, I manage to have ALSA recognize my bluetooth headset correctly (originally I use it on my phone, works great).
My problem now is : the speaker part is working correctly (I can hear sounds coming from mplayer or aplay on test files) but I can't record any sound ! The only thing I can get is a noisy, continuous scratch sound when I try very basic commands like :
arecord -D btheadset -f S16_BE blah.wav
My .asoundrc file :
pcm.btheadset {
type plug
slave {
pcm {
type bluetooth
device 00:1D:82:B4:59:19
profile "auto"
hint {
show on
description "BT Headset"
ctl.btheadset {
type bluetooth
Is there any way to get that functionnal ? Am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks for your help.

I found myself on http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.p … 44715.html
Following your advice, I try this configuration :
pcm.bluetoothraw {
type bluetooth
pcm.bluetooth {
type plug
slave {
pcm bluetoothraw
and that does not the trick

  • Bluetooth Headset only works for iTunes not in web browser?

    I've recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. I've reconnected both of my Plantronics Headsets and have been able to use them with iTunes. Today I wanted to watch some shows on Hulu, and while the bluetooth "appears" to be connected, when I select Use Plantronics for mono audio, I can't hear anything. I've disconnected, re-connected, rebooted, etc., and I can't seem to get it to work in any browser.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    I use the Nokia BH-804with my Pc (win 7) no problems, only thing is i also use this medialink USB adapter as my laptop does not have bluetooth embedded (yea i know im behind the times) While that may not be much help to you it could be because the 505 is stereo?? Meaning your OS/computer does support bluetooth but no the A2DP profile? 

  • Speaker Working but microphone not working with VT1708/A Azalia HDAC

    Hi,
    I freshly installed 64-bit Arch on my Desktop.
    2.6.32-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 7 22:28:29 CET 2010 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
    I configured alsa as said in
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Adv … chitecture
    I can get sound through the speakers but i cannot use my mic.
    I tried to record using audacity and it did not work. Also it does not work in skype.
    Could Some one please help me trouble shoot this problem?
    Thanks

    I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5.  I have a Motorola HX550 Bluetooth Headset which worked flawlessly with the iPhone 4s.  However, since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call.  I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss.  The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens.  All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
    Is is important to note that I am not the only one experiencing this issue:
    This is a link to someone using the Motorola H19txt headset experiencing the same issue
    https://forums.motorola.com/posts/94ac15ad7c
    If you go to the Plantronics website and look at the "Ratings and Reviews" on the Voyager Legend you will see the same issue reported:
    http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/voyager-legend (next paragraph is taken from the review since there is no direct link to the review.
    Really nice Headset unless you own an Iphone 5. I own several Plantronics headsets and have always loved the quality/ performance. This headset seems not to be compatible with the new Iphone 5. In the middle of a conversation it will lose all incoming audio. This leaves you trying to switch audio sources really fast in order not to lose your phone call. Ive tried 3 legend headsets and they all do the same thing. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because the headset is really nice
    Since this issue appears to affect multiple headsets from multiple vendors, I think it is fair to conclude that it is an issue with the iPhone5 bluetooth itself.
    I am posting this as a new discussion as I don't see any other posts specific to this iPhone 5 Bluetooth issue.  I would have reported this as a problem to Apple, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do this on the web.  Hopefully they are already aware, but if not, maybe they will see i here.

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

After I successfully paired it with my laptop (HP EliteBook 8470p, running Windows 8 and the Broadcom Bluetooth driver downloaded from Broadcom's site), I can hear audio from the headphones, but the microphone part doesn't seem to be functioning, it doesn't pick up a signal no matter how loud I speak.
    When trying the same headset on the same laptop running Windows 7 SP1, the microphone is working perfectly.
    In Windows 8, the Headset Microphone is Enabled in the Sound settings' Recording devices, and is set as Default Device. The Internal Microphone Array device (the laptop's built-in mic) is picking up audio no problem, so that part of Windows 8 is functioning properly. So there seems to be no issue with any of the settings, I went them through several times.
    It's just the H7000 headset's mic under Windows 8, that is having the problem.
    Anyone met this scenario, or even have a fix?

    I managed to narrow it down to the Broadcom Bluetooth chipset driver in Windows 8.
    Finally I ended up disabling it, and buying a USB Bluetooth micro-dongle with an Atheros chipset. With this, the headset works fine.
    It is still ridiculous, to solve such a problem with additional investment, but this is not HP's fault it turned out.
    I'll try to contact Broadcom's customer service, and keep an eye open for any Win8 driver updates on their support website.

  • How do I get my Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headset to work with the iPhone5?

    My excellent Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headset worked fine with my 4S but I can't get it to even be recognized by my new iPhone5...does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Try resetting the sd10-hd .  That solved my problem. I was able to pair with my iPhone 5.
    Follow this link to instruction to reset the s10-hd, https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/ 59350/p/1422,2690,7709
    Essentially hold down the + and 0 (power button) until the LED turns blue. Then power off the headset and power on.  Put the iPhone in discoverable mode and they should now sync.

  • My bluetooth headset connects, but it is not a source option on an active call. Why?

    I get an icon indicating that the plantronics M1100 headset is connected and working properly on my display. The headset even asks me if i want to answer incoming calls. But when i say "answer", i can only use the handset or speaker phone. I cannot get an active call to go to my headset. This just started happening. If there is a setting i am missing in the iPhone 4s please let me know. thanks!

    I am suddenly having a similar issue with my Motorola H17 bluetooth headset.  it is pairing/connected with my iphone 4.  i can use the voice control feature to dial a number.  but i cannot get any audio and cant answer calls from the headset.

  • [Solved] Bluetooth headset. Anyone know how to set up?

    Hi.
    I have a Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth headset, and I have no idea how to set it up in Linux.
    It appears that the wiki article is outdated and incomplete. Does anyone have Bluetooth working for them on the up to date packages?

    blueman-git seems to have been dropped from the aur, and the blueman-bzr uses bluez4. I tried bluez4 with blueman-bzr but had several errors.
    I ended up downgrading the blueman package from the repo you posted, and blocked it from being upgraded. It didn't give the errors blueman-bzr did right off the bat. (ie - an error window when loading X)
    I added 'Enable=Source,Sink,Media,Socket' to my '/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf', and created the '/etc/asound.conf' with the required setting both per the wiki article. Obviously, I replaced the XXs with my headset address. (Note: the asound.conf file is installed by pulseaudio-alsa, so I had to manually create it.)
    After pairing, and connecting to the 'headset service' & 'audio sync' in blueman, I was able to receive output from both aplay and mpv (mplayer) successfully as per the wiki article.
    This will work for now as I really wanted it working for media playback, but I noticed all system sounds still played through the default speakers.
    Out of curiosity, I also tried connecting to it manually via hcitool, and bluez-simple-agent.
    # hcitool scan
    Scanning ...
    XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Kinivo BTH220
    # bluez-simple-agent XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
    Traceback (most recent call last):

    message, timeout)
    dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.bluez.Error.NoSuchAdapter: No such adapter
    Any ideas on how to get sound from the main system for things like web browsing and the like?

  • HT204389 I am looking for a descent bluetooth headset that works well with siri... any suggestions?

    I seem to not be able to find any bluetooth headset that really works will with siri... are there any?

    The iPad does not print via Bluetooth, unless there's a third-party app somewhere that supports that (which I doubt, but I don't say anything is impossible). The iPad prints only via WiFi, and only to printers that support AirPrint or that are connected to a computer that does. If you look to the right under "more like this" you'll find other discussions on this same question, but none offer any really good solution that I have seen.
    Regards.

  • Has anyone found a Bluetooth Headset that works with Skype?

    I have been reading reviews and I can't find anyone who has found a Bluetooth headset that successfully works with Skype with Leopard...
    anyone?

    Hi there...
    I have the Jabra BT125 and I have a new Mac Book Pro on it's way. The headset is actually something I already had for my cell phone. And now I'm hoping to use it for skype as well. What I think I lack is the Blue Tooth adapter. I was looking for one that I can power via USB rather than the ones you have to charge. I also have a logitech V320 optical mouse. Do you think the blue tooth adapter can run both the mouse and the headset as not to take up too many USB ports at the same time? (I envision my computer eventually resembling that guy from He11 Raiser! with all the pins sticking out of it) Anyway... Jabra says the BT125 supports Bluetooth version 2. I'm not sure if the mouse is similar or not... (I'm actually really new to all this lingo and I just assume the wireless capability of the mouse is bluetooth... The specs say it's a "microreceiver") Any comments, experiences or suggestions are really appreciated... thanks!!!

  • My bluetooth headset stopped working! Whoever broke it must fix!

    I occasionally use a bluetooth headset, but it stopped working recently. The status icon in the menu bar shows it is connected - but no sound comes to the headset. This used to work perfectly a month or so ago. This seems to be a software problem, introduced by one of the software updates. I tried to connect the bluetooth module to my vmware-fusion Ubuntu guest OS and it works perfectly. It is kind of sad and ridiculous that the bluetooth works on the guest OS, but not on the host. This problem must have been introduced recently, because it used work perfectly on the host as well. I tried to find a place on the apple support web site to report the issue, but all I could get to was place to talk with an expert after paying for it. I just hope somebody from Apple support reads these forums, because there is nothing the users can do here. Whoever broke it must fix it!

    ...explains my frustration with questions like: "Are you sure you are not using a bluetooth dongle?"
    In point of fact that wasn't the question. It was whether you were using built-in Bluetooth or whether the headphone was one which relied on a USB dongle. Either might have been true and would affect the fault-finding process. The more information you can provide in a post the less necessity there is to start with the basic questions.

    Re: iPhone 4S sound problems 
    Dec 29, 2011 2:05 PM (in response to unowen57)
    Hi Guys,
    I have post eariler on another forum and I have the same problem, I have tried all the things listed here and nothing was perminant in fixing this painful iphone hating problem.... and failed.  You probably have the problem when you use youtube or your music external speaker that there is no volume bar and no sound.   I have had the same problem But I need to happily say that I now have the fix!!!!  This worked for me and I fixed it by myself so you don't need to go to apple or service centre or anything.
    Ok I like so many of you here truly believed this was as IO5 issue as it only dropped the sound on the speakers once that IO5 update came along.  I tried a bunch of reset, reboots, home clicks, lock and unlocks, to fix this and all failed.  some worked for an hour but then failed.  hours of my life that I will never get back.   but since I have learnt this is not a IO5 problem but a hardware issue! ...  and in paticualar is has to do with your bottom connection.  Your phone is thinking it is docked all the time.
    To fix the no sound problem what you need is...
    1.  a torch
    2.  a tooth brush
    3.  methalated spirits
    4. a butter knife
    Step 1.
    get your torch and shine it down the bottom connection plate to see what kind of dust, sand, hair or anything you have stuck in there.   all that need to be removed!  everything!  it might look clean but still thats ok go to step 2.
    step 2.
    Turn on your music app and put the speakers on!  If your phone is like mine it should not work.  you most probably don't even have the volume display to turn it on but its ok, just do it! and it should still play with no sound.   its important you try and run the speakers as this will show you that it is a hardware problem.
    step 3.
    Dip your tooth brush into some methated sprits.   then at your sink tap the exess metho out of your brush as you just want the brushes to be slightly damp, not soaking wet and then scrub the bottom connetiors on your iphone.  work the brush back and forward in a way that scoops the dirt out of the phone, not just pushing it side to side.
    (As you bushing you should notice the volume bar come back on or off as you scub.   This happened to me and that is how I realised I was on the right track to fixing this problem as I was doing something external that was actually controling when the volume display came on or off.   but once I cleaned it this still didn't fix the problem...)
    Step 4.
    Use the back side of a butter knife (not the sharp side) to gently slide over the connectors on the iphone.  Do this gently as you are only pushing down on the tiny metal contect bars and you should notice the volume display come on again.  slide it back and forward.  Now the area of interest is about 2/3 along the connection plate to the right.   This is the area that has the infomation sent when your iphone thinks its docked.
    This has worked for me and I have not had a problem since I did this 2 weeks ago.   I have since learnt that the new IOS 5 has activated a different part of the bottom conectors.  if you have been using dodgy connectors or unapproved apple cables (as I was)  any damage or hair and dirt on the terminal this is effecting it.  Try it.   just remember if you can do something external to your phone then there lies the problem.
    Hope this works for your phone as it did for mine.
    Cheers

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

    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?

  • Unable to get Bluetooth Headset Profile working with mic on Toshiba BT Stac

    Hi.
    I am having problems using my Motorola HT-820 Stereo headset, with the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack installed on Vista Home Premium 32bit laptop.
    I am unable to get the mic to function at all, so cannot use it for Skype / VOIP calls etc. Features such as the A2DP and AVRCP work fine, and I can listen to music via media player without issues.
    I have read in a FAQ on this site, to make sure I use the Custom Setup option rather than Express Setup when adding the device, but it doesnt seem to make any difference, am I missing a step here?
    In the Windows Recording device properties, I can see the option listed for Bluetooth Mic, but even setting it as the default device doesnt work.
    I know from connecting my headset to my Desktop PC which uses the Widdcom bluetooth stack, that i can use the Headset/mic function, but this stack seems to work differently, as in I can select the headset option within the bluetooth settings, but I cannot see such an option withing the Toshiba stack - and i think this is where the problem is.
    I have updated to the latest Toshiba stack from this web site, but this has not helped any.
    Any help here would be appreciated.
    Regards
    Matt

    Hello Matt
    Unfortunately I can not help you with this but if I am remembering well here on BT section someone already asked something similar. Please take a little bit time and check BT section on this forum.
    You can also visit FAQ section on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/
    Maybe will find something there.
    Good luck!

  • What Bluetooth headset will work with my Bravia KD-65X9000B TV

    I want to buy some wireless headset for my 4k TV , but I don't know what to get and more importantly what will wok. I don't want to spend much money and I want to connect two headsets..please help.

    Hello! First of all, the model number KD-65X900B does not match with the SONY models number actually, maybe your panel is the XBR-65X900B. So, according to my investment, this product is only compatible with a few Bluetooth device, for example a Mice bluetooth, you can find more info right here: http://docs.esupport.sony.com/imanual/NA/2014/XBR-55_65X900B/uc_uen/c_gset_bluetooth.html By the way, you may consider to buy the MDR-RF985RK, Wireless Radio Frequency Headphones, those one will be compatible for sure, due to you may connect them into headphone input jack of your new brand TV. Hope it works! Sam
