[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I can't get my BT headset to work with Ubuntu. It works OK on the very
same laptop when MS Windows is booted. Headset is Nokia HS-26 and BT is
builtin USB device 0a5c:2110 Broadcom Corp.

I have in ~/.asoundrc:
#v+
pcm.bluetooth {
   type bluetooth
   device 00:13:70:59:F0:3D
}
#v-

when I run "mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth some.mp3" I get:

#v+
[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_bluetooth.c:460:(bluetooth_hsp_hw_params) BT_SETCONFIGURATION failed : Input/output error(5)
[AO_ALSA] Unable to set hw-parameters: Input/output error
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.
Audio: no sound
#v-

and in daemon.log:
#v+

there is no sound. There is no question for passkey. There is no GNOME
Popup any kind. There is only misterious line "Mar  4 21:00:23 sandworm
audio[6521]: connect(): Connection refused (111) " in logs. Problem
persist over reboots and "invoke-rc.d bluetooth restart".
