Hi to All.
I had setup my Bluetooth Headsets (Neovoice) using the howto found in the opensuse.org wiki
I'm using opensuse 11.1 (up to date)
The headsets are paired and working.
this is my .asoundrc file
pcm.!default { type pulse } ctl.!default { type pulse } pcm.btheadset { type bluetooth device "00:0E:16:02:22:4D" profile voice } ctl.btheadset { type bluetooth }
if I type the command
arecord -D btheadset -f S16_LE | aplay -D btheadset -f S16_LE
I can talk and hear myself in the headset, so seems to work fine.
But I'm unable to use with applications like Teamspeak because they expect a device like /dev/dsp or similar.
I tried also the commands
pactl load-module module-alsa-source device=btheadset
and
pactl load-module module-alsa-sink device=btheadset
like suggested in the howtos, but they segfault my pulseaudio and the daemon exists (I have to restart it with /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start)
also the headset is not listed as any kind of device with aplay -l or aplay -L
Any help is appreciated.
Greetings
Hi,
thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately the microphone is not supported yet. If you put profile "auto" into the .asoundrc you get
# arecord -D bths1 -f S16_LE | aplay -D bths1 -f S16_LE ALSA lib pcm_bluetooth.c:1619:(bluetooth_init) BT_GETCAPABILITIES failed : Unknown error 240(240) arecord: main:590: audio open error: Unknown error 240 aplay: playback:2208: read error
and you see that the alsa is not able to open the bluetooth input device. I use my bluetooth headset and notebook with built-in microphone to use Skype with the configuration as described here [1].
As of the PulseAudio (PA). The 0.9.12 version does not provide you with microphone support either, even if you succeed to set it up. The PA receives/sends the sound via module-alsa-source/module-alsa-sink from/to alsa again. wait for the PA 0.9.13. There will be PA native bluetooth support.
