Ubuntu Multimedia :: Bluetooth Headphones - How To Automatically Connect
Sep 10, 2010
I'm running 9.10 Karmic and using Blueman 1.2 with the latest bluez stack. I have a pair of Sony DR-BT100CX bluetooth headphones. I've got them paired and working with my system. When I turn them on I can click on the blueman icon and then select the DR-BT100CX device and then choose to connect the Audio Sink. As soon as I do this my Pulseaudio is redirected and all system output is driven through the headphones. This is great!
My only issue is that I have to select the device (I don't have to re-pair it) when I turn it on. On my Windows system when I turn on the headphones the bluetooth detects them and connects and then audio routes through the headphones. I don't have to click on anything.
Does anybody know how to remove the need to click on the device and add the sync. When I turn my bluetooth mouse on the system picks it up and starts using it, so I know this is possible. I just can't find a simple way to make this happen with the headphones.

I just bought a pair of Samsung SBH500 headphones and a USB Bluetooth dongle. I was able to connect my headphones with no problems but I wanted to set them up to play music. I found this website: [URL]. I got to this command:
Code:
$ sudo hciconfig hci0 voice 0x0060
and got this error message
Code:
Can't write voice setting on hci0: Connection timed out (110)
Does anyone know what might be causing this?

I have a Sony Ericsson HBH-PV700 bluetooth headset that came packaged with a Sony Ericsson K510i phone.I was hoping to be able to use it under Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat as a headset and POSSIBLY as a microphone...I don't think it supports a2dp, so maybe this is a waste of effort. The Bluetooth adapter I'm using is Bluetooth 2.0 compilant, as far as I know. (It may be 1.2, but there's no way it's 1.1 compilant).
I have paired it with my PC and tried finding it as output and input in the Sound Preferences...no option. There's nothing in [System > Preferences > Multimedia Systems Selector] either! I have also tried the instructions at the Ubuntu Community Help Pages for Bluetooth Headset. However, my system fails to initialise the module-alsa-sink and module-alsa-source via the pactl command .I don't even know if it is possible with this device, but I'm willing to give anything a try! P.S. I'm not comfortable with installing a ton of packages just for one thing, but if there's no other option it's fine, I guess.

I have a set of i.Tech BluePro headphones and a Motorola USB adapter, my aim is to listen to music from my laptop through the headphones. I have successfully set up the bluetooth device with the Bluetooth preferences utility, it is detected and paired but how do I get the computer to direct its sound to this device? the sound preferences do not list my bluetooth device. The only reference to this task I have come across is here; [URL] not sure if this is relevant for 10.10, but when I try hcitool scan. Nothing is detected.

I managed to get my bluetooth headphones working with blueman, and now I can listen to tunes on Clementine. But not Firefox. I tried adding some stuff to /etc/asoundrc and ~/.asound and rebooting.

I have a bluetooth headset with both support of HSP/HFP and A2DP. My goal is to connect this headset to my cell phone (over HSP/HFP) and to the PC (over A2DP) simultaneously, but ubuntu always connects both profiles.
I've tried to set following values in /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf:

After a lot of messing around and research, I figured out how to actually get my bluetooth headphones to connect and stay connected. Although once I shut them off, remove the device and re-add it using Blueman.
Right now, `pavucontrol` shows "Headphones (unplugged)" and there is no sound coming out of the speakers. But there is no sound coming out of the headphones either. They are set to the fallback. I've opened `alsamixer` and made sure everything was turned up. Still, no sound.
Since `bt-audio` isn't on Jessie, I don't know what I should do. It seems like this may be the missing step but I am unsure.

every time I want to listen music from my headphones I have to do like:
1. Main menu >> System >> Preferences >> Sound >>> Output >>>> Connector >>>>> Analog Headphones
and vice versa.
I have no experience in bash scripting and I have no idea how to find automatic solution to my problem.
The problem in pseudo-code:
Begin
if
headset plugged in front jack
then Connector := Analog Headphones
else
Connector := Analog Output
End

I recently bought a IOgear USB bluetooth adapter and a Sony DRBT101/BLK bluetooth headphones to use with my computer.Whenever I try to make a call using these headphones with skype, I can speak for say 10 seconds and then the headset disconnects completely from the system. I then have to reconnect the headset by switching it off and on. I do not have this problem listening to music using A2DP. It works fine with my mobile phone.When I change the profile to Telephony Duplex (HSP/HFP), it shows up as hands free, I thought it should be headset in blueman manager. My friend uses Plantronics headset with is Dell laptop with built in bluetooth and he says his comes up as headset not hands free. Could this be causing the problem?

when my headphones are plugged into my computer, the sound comes from both the speakers AND the headphones. I just want the sound from the headphones if they are plugged in.

I'm having an issue with my computer and the headphones. When I plug in the headphones into the headphone jack, the sound plays through the headphones but it also plays through the speakers as well at the same time. I've attempted to play around with the sound settings to see if I can get this issue resolved but I have not been able too. Computer specifications are in my signature.

I have a Rocketfish bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo and am running Ubuntu 10.04. The mouse was easy to set up. I just went to the bluetooth icon and clicked add new device and it connected. The same wasn't true for the keyboard. It gives me the code to type so I typed it and pressed enter and... nothing. So I found a little tutorial and I had to install bluez and type in the terminal, "sudo hidd --search" then enter my password (which I needed to grab my other keyboard to do) and it connected. If I don't use it for a while or reboot, the keyboard will not connect. I have to do the hidd search again which means I need to keep my extra keyboard handy. I had it set up before where it would connect on a reboot, but I got a new hard drive and reinstalled Ubuntu, now I can't remember how I set it up. Could I have set up bluez wrong?

Im using a Samsung R420/R470 laptop with Broadcom bluetooth and a Prolink PMO624B mouse.My mouse works when I add it as a new device, but if I off the mouse and on it again, the mouse does not auto connect. I have to press and hold the connection button under the mouse and reconnect to the mouse.The mouse says that it is linux compatible, so I guess its a problem with my bluetooth drivers.

I have installed the Ubuntu 10.04 on a HP Pavilion dv3-2150ep laptop and I can't get sound on my headphones when I plug them. Besides the laptop speakers don't shutdown either - like it happened with the same OS on my Toshiba Tecra M4."aplay -l" lists my card properly and nothing is muted on "alsamixer". It states that my card is a HDA Intel with chipset Nvidia MCP78 HDMI.

I can't use my headphone jack.
The laptops speakers work fine (in fact they're clearer and stronger than ever), but I can't use audio equipment that I plug into the audio jack (headphones, speakers, ect.).
I checked System/Sound, looked into the Output tab, and found that there are two devices for sound output displayed: Internal Audio Digital Stereo (HDMI, cause my laptop has an HDMI port), and Internal Audio Analog Speaker (default sound output). No "Headphones" or "3.5mm Jack" or something like that. Even when I have something plugged in the jack.
So when I plug in my headphones, no sound comes from them, and the laptop speakers are still playing. It's like Ubuntu doesn't detect anything plugged into the audio jack at all.
I own an Acer Aspire One 522.

My Compaq Presario B1800 is running 9.10, and the volume for the speakers is fine. When I plug in my earphones, I think the soundcard supplies the same power to the earphones which is OK quietest of the quietest settings, but way to loud even on the second notch.

I have Ubuntu 9.10. Clean install. I have a cheap headset but can't get sound to come thru the headset. The mic works, but sound only comes from main speakers.
I do not have a HP, SONY or anything like that. I bought my pc barebones and built myself. So there doesn't seem to be any easy fix for my pc. Here are the specs:

ASUS A6000 no headphones ASUS A6000 no headphones using ubuntu 10.4 and after ALSA upgrade script was run.
At first had no sound and then ran the ALSA upgrade script found here. [URL]
Now have sound but no headphones.
Also, when attempting to adjust outputs I used the ALSAmixer gui application and seem to have misconfigured the display somehow. I now only show one item at a time on the panel and none of the other controls show up. I can still select them...one at a time. There is no user manual for this application, the older versions have a manual but it does not apply to the new gui version of the app.

Audo is working fine through the Internal laptop speakers. when i plug in my headphones, nothing happens, the audio continues to play through the speakers, and nothing comes from the headphones. ive tried changing up things in sound preferences and alsa-mixer, but nothing seems to be working.
Im 100% sure the head phone jack isn't broken, and the headphones aren't broken (they both work in windows just fine.) Im running 10.04, on an amd-64x HP-dv3.
