Pairing Bluetooth Headset AD2P

Hi, I’m trying Ubuntu Mate 64 bit on my Lenovo T61 and I like it but there are some problems with my Philips SHB 7000. The device is paired but audio streams AD2P fails and I can’t use it. Someone can help me?

Please try:

sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

You may need to log out/in as well.

Thanks for the reply, I made a try but nothing change:

Oh bother. I’ll actually have to find some hardware to test this…

I’ve had this problem in the past. It’s a known bug in Mate. Once you’ve installed the pulseaudio bluetooth module you have to enable it

pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover

Run this to see if it works then turn it into a script and add it to your start up programs

@CGB Thank you. If this is confirmed as a fix I’ll add the required fixes to Ubuntu MATE 15.10 :slight_smile:

@Wimpy, no worries. I’ve been meaning to log it as a bug with the Mate Desktop team for a while and this post (and the fact that I just myself did a fresh install of 15.04 and had to do manually fix it again) has reminded me again.

As noted, my workaround is to run that command from a script that I add to my start up programs.

Hi, I don’t have your device but I use an AD2P headset every day and I’ve solved the pairing problem using this http://askubuntu.com/questions/14077/how-can-i-change-the-default-audio-device-from-command-line and this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1370383
The script is not essentials but very useful

Ok thanks, i will try in these days, but now seems work!

I added this parameter at startup but the system ignores it!

Maybe sleep the start up script to make sure everything has loaded?
