Bluetooth headset stopped working in (or before) 20210817 and 20210820
Hi, My bluetooth headset used to work perfectly but now it fails on one of my laptops, but continues to work on the other. It still connects on the one where it fails, it is recognized by pulseaudio, but I do not hear a sound, even though pavucontrol still shows output signals being generated. I suspect it is a bluetooth issue rather than an audio issue. journalctl shows me: Aug 23 14:28:36 RBT-work kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: SCO packet for unknown connection handle 0 plenty of times and this does not happen on the laptop where sound still works. Can someone help me on this issue? Kind regards, Erwin
Hi, Small update: Hardware Bus 001 Device 005: ID 8087:0a2b Intel Corp. Bluetooth wireless interface Tried rolling back the kernel and kernel firmware, to 5.13.8-1-default and 20210719 without success. Previous update on that laptop was about a month ago, so maybe this is not back far enough or the issue lies somewhere else. On working laptop: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 8087:0025 Intel Corp. Wireless-AC 9260 Bluetooth Adapter Kind regards, Erwin On Mon, Aug 23, 2021 at 2:35 PM Erwin Van de Velde <erwin.vandevelde@gmail.com> wrote:

On working laptop: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 8087:0025 Intel Corp. Wireless-AC 9260 Bluetooth Adapter Can be also caused by bluez change.
You can check your zypper log for any bluez updates around that time. HTH Michal

bluez received an update with TW20210817 (fix bluez-auto-enable-devices subpackage).Anyway, before opening a bug report, you should give kernel-default-5.13.12-5.1.g33df9c6.x86_64 from Kernel:stable a try, which contains some recent Bluetooth fixes. Regards, Frank
Hi, Found the issue: it stemmed from using a non-official pulseaudio 15.0 package (which i needed for better BT sound quality, given that I am in calls several hours a day). Still weird that the same package, same configuration etc was working on one laptop and not on the other. The more recent official pulseaudio TW package seems to offer decent audio quality too and does not exhibit the same problem.

You could also try pipewire, and specifically the one from Packman as it has the AptX codec available. /Syds

FWIW pulseaudio 15.0 will be included in 20210823 or newer (when released). It has all the improvements that I was looking for in terms of Bluetooh support. Thanks, Robert
