Comment #55 by penalvch seems to give some sense of how this bug is being tracked, as a Dell Inspiron N411Z issue, and other similar but different bluetooth bugs related to pulseaudio seem unwelcome here, for good reason. More clarity on exactly what this bug covers would be welcome.
I'll note though that the debugging ideas in here are very valuable for bluetooth and pulseaudio bugs, so it is worth reading, until that info is summarized somewhere else. Especially because bluetooth is way more complicated than the bug-reporting hints suggest. Keywords: lsusb, pactl, hciconfig, module-bluetooth-discover, module-bluetooth-device. But I'm still puzzled at the current status of this bug. It has been described at various times as kernel-related, as bluez related, and as pulseaudio related. The current status is "confirmed" for both bluez and pulseaudio, and "incomplete" for linux (ubuntu). But my sense is that it is a kernel bug, not a bug in bluez or pulseaudio, Could someone clear that up? I'll note in passing that I have a bug in precise 12.04 on a system76 lemu2, with a 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio headset, which doesn't show up in pulseaudio after being paired properly. But it works fine in 14.04 beta1, and using blueman in 12.04 at least gets it working as A2DP headphones (but not HSP microphone input). And I guess I should report that as a separate bug.... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972063 Title: [Dell Inspiron N411Z] Bluetooth Headset pairs but does not show up in Sound Settings profile Status in “bluez” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Expected Result: After pairing bluetooth headset the device should then show up in > Sound Settings and work like any other audio device Actual Result: Jabra Halo v2 Bluetooth Headset pairs fine but does not show up in sound settings therefore is unusable ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: pulseaudio 1:1.1-0ubuntu13 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-21.34-generic 3.2.13 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-21-generic x86_64 AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
