Bluetooth/Alsa: no communication


Hi!

Bluetooth is working correctly and detects my Jabra bluetooth external loudspeaker set.

Alsa is working correctly and plays everything on my Laptop HP 240 with the built in low noise loudspeaker set

However I can't sent the output of any sound from the laptop to the Jabra Bluetooth external speaker set via Bluetooth, although the connection is fine

Audio sink gives the message "Connection Failed: Stream setup failed"

How can I fix this?

Thank you in advance,

JL

this is most probably an alsa issue, trust me.

getting bluetooth to work and getting the sound to work through bluetooth over alsa are 2 different things.

i have tried something like this myself a few times, and it brought me to my knees every time.
you are much better off installing pulseaudio.

that said, what you want is definitely possible with pure alsa, but there's something very, very cryptic about it.
if you're really keen on getting raw knees, you can join the alsa-user mailing list and try asking there.

as far as sound goes your hp uses Realtek High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver (International) that is a snd-hda-intel.

Does it mean that I would have to install Gnome along with pulseaudio?

I want my system to stay Kde/Gnome-free

no, not at all.
if you feel a bit more advanced (but still gui), you can consider jack audio instead of pulseaudio.
just never uninstall alsa - it's the base.

I had the same issue / message. To fix it I modified /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf from
Code:
[General]
Enable=Sink,Source,Gateway
...
#AutoConnect=true
to

Code:
[General]
Enable=Socket,Sink,Source,Gateway
...
AutoConnect=true
I configured my bluetooth headset as default device in /etc/asound.conf:
Code:
pcm.!default {
    type bluetooth
    device XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
    profile "auto"
}
And it played well. But when it is not connected I have no sound at all. My desire was in this case the sound to be directed to my sound card. No luck.

So I removed the default device and created a virtual ALSA device:
Code:
pcm.bt1 {
    type bluetooth
    device XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
    profile "auto"
}
And when I listen through the headset I set manually the audio output in the applications to use this device bt1. Not very convenient but it works.
