[Bug 1283003] Re: [Bluetooth + 14.04] Bluetooth headsets are not working after last couple of updates

[Kiori]

-------------------------------------------
Guys if you're still having issues and using gimmicks i guess you missed the post that talked about adding this:
[General]
Enable = Source,Sink,Headset,Gateway,Control,Media
Disable = Socket

HFP=false

[A2DP]
SBCSources=1
MPEG12Sources=0

To audio.conf.
---------------------------------
So what does that mean?
It means type at the terminal : sudo gedit /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf
(assuming you're on ubuntu, if not use Kate, or mousepad, etc.)
 And add the above lines in each corresponding section.
So basically my current audio.conf is like this:

# Configuration file for the audio service

# This section contains options which are not specific to any
# particular interface
[General]
Enable = Source,Sink,Headset,Gateway,Control,Media
Disable = Socket

#Enable=Gateway

# Switch to master role for incoming connections (defaults to true)
#Master=true

# If we want to disable support for specific services
# Defaults to supporting all implemented services
#Disable=Gateway,Source,Socket
#Disable = Socket

# SCO routing. Either PCM or HCI (in which case audio is routed to/from ALSA)
# Defaults to HCI
#SCORouting=PCM

# Automatically connect both A2DP and HFP/HSP profiles for incoming
# connections. Some headsets that support both profiles will only connect the
# other one automatically so the default setting of true is usually a good
# idea.
#AutoConnect=true

# Headset interface specific options (i.e. options which affect how the audio
# service interacts with remote headset devices)
[Headset]

# Set to true to support HFP, false means only HSP is supported
# Defaults to true
HFP=true
#HFP=false

# Maximum number of connected HSP/HFP devices per adapter. Defaults to 1
MaxConnected=1

# Set to true to enable use of fast connectable mode (faster page scanning)
# for HFP when incoming call starts. Default settings are restored after
# call is answered or rejected. Page scan interval is much shorter and page
# scan type changed to interlaced. Such allows faster connection initiated
# by a headset.
FastConnectable=false

# Just an example of potential config options for the other interfaces
[A2DP]
SBCSources=1
MPEG12Sources=0


-----------------------------------------------------
The bad part about this is that it completely fixes A2DP as a standard, so i cant have both modes at once, which would mean having the mic and high quality sound at the same time, but its better than nothing right.

Beyond that the only major software problem that i still see is that
gnome-discovery or whatnot is incapable of pairing any device i throw at
it, so we are all forced to use 'Blueman' the mighty savior for the win.


In case your lazy or did not understand, i added my audio.conf to the comment for easy testing.
Download it and copy it to /etc/bluetooth/ , also remember to backup your existing audio.conf in case you're not used to this sort of thing.
If you don't know how to copy this in root-protected folders, simply type "sudo nautilus" at the terminal and have fun.

Best wishes to all,
still hoping for the day canonical gives gnome the finger.
Seriously, why couldn't they have based ubuntu on KDE in the first place?  
Oh yeah i remember, its because Qt was bad, bad, non-strictly-free software. So much for that eh...
