Public bug reported: I have a IOGEAR Bluetooth 4.0 USB Micro Adapter (GBU521) which cannot audio sink with my bluetooth headphones (Kinovio BTH-220). Headphones can be detected and pair, but audio sink or mic input doesn't work. Blueman manager gives the error "Connection Failed: Stream Setup Failed. It used to work in the LTS Ubuntu version 12.04 but now no longer does with a kernel update. This Broadcom chip BCM20702A0 has had many bug reports on it on launchpad which have been fixed in previous releases. There is a lot of info in these previous bug reports that is useful for people diagnosing and solving the problem, although I did not understand most of it. From reading them, I believe the problem comes down to vendor ID support or the issue of the adapter needing to load a special firmware.
