|
|
Yesterday I bought a bluetooth headset with microphone, hoping I could use it for skype calls. That was probably naive of me though, as I've been unable to get the microphone to work.
I can play music through the headset using mplayer and pulseaudio, both in A2DP and HSP/HFP profiles, but using it in skype with A2DP disables the microphone (as expected I suppose), and trying with HSP/HFP I get no sound at all in skype, neither input nor output.
The headset gets picked up by pulseaudio, but not by alsa. I've made an .asound file in my home dir containing the following:
Code: | pcm.bluetooth {
type bluetooth
device 00:1A:7D:10:72:B1
profile "auto"
}
|
Also, I've added
to /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf
Does anyone have a working bt headset with skype? I know from googling that it should be possible, the question is how? |

Do you mean .asoundrc ? It is the good file name. Check if you have an /etc/adound.conf that can modify the beahavior of your .asoundrc
To disable Pulseaudio without stop it's service or uninstall it, I use an /etc/asound.conf (can be $HOME/.asoundrc) with Code: |
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
channels 6
buffer_size 4096
buffer_time 0
pcm "hw:1,0"
period_size 1024
period_time 0
rate 48000
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}
ctl.dmixer {
type hw
card 1
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
|
My sound card is 1. This must be adapt to the number of your sound card according to _________________ Paul |

Sorry, I meant .asoundrc
I tried changing my .asoundrc to what you posted, though it didn't make any difference. Also, I don't have a /etc/asound.conf file, should I?
I am wondering if the problem isn't with Skype, as when I run
Code: | mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth somemusicfile.mp3 |
from the terminal I do get sound in the headset. I haven't found any way to test the mike, though, Audacity doesn't allow me to select pulseaudio, and the "bluetooth" device above isn't available either.
Any and all help would be much appreciated, as at this point it seems my bluetooth headset simply doesn't work with Gentoo, and if I can't get it to work I guess I'll have to try and sell it and buy a none-bluetooth, but wireless headset.
EDIT: I just noticed that I have these errors in /var/log/messages:

Probably too late now, but if you're running a Broadcom BT adapter, the issue could be firmware. I'm using a BCM20702A0, and I wasn't able to get any audio in or out from my headset in HSP/HFP mode. The headset would show up in my pulse mixer, but no levels were being displayed. I fixed it by booting up a VBox windows instance and running the Broadcom software from their website. I had some success using brcm_patchram_plus_usb on Arch, but I haven't worked it out on Gentoo yet. |

Thanks for the reply, but I sold my BT headset to a friend when I couldn't get it to work. I'm now using skype on my android phone instead. |
