Public bug reported:
I used AI to effect repairs for bluetooth, which it seemed to finally
resolve, but it seemed to also have found an kernel issue for my
soundcard.
AI suggests that I report the found kernel bug:

there's errors upon ubuntu bootup, can i see the logs?
ChatGPT said:
Yes, Ubuntu logs boot errors using the journalctl system. You can view them to
diagnose startup issues.
🔍 View Boot Logs in Ubuntu
Open a terminal and run:
journalctl -b
This shows logs for the current boot. To view logs from previous boots, use:
journalctl -b -1 # Last boot
journalctl -b -2 # Two boots ago
🔎 Filter Only Errors During Boot
To show only errors:
journalctl -p err -b
You can also filter by boot and priority (e.g., warnings and above from last
boot):
journalctl -p warning -b -1

ChatGPT said:
Thanks for sharing the logs — here's a breakdown of the issues you're seeing
and what you can do:
đź”´ 1. UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in ctamixer.c
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in /sound/pci/ctxfi/ctamixer.c:346:48
index 8 is out of range for type 'unsigned char [8]'
What it means:
This is a kernel bug in the driver for a Creative X-Fi sound card (ctxfi). The
kernel tried to access index 8 in an array of size 8 — invalid and caught by
UBSAN (Undefined Behavior SANitizer). Likely not harmful unless you're using
the device and it's malfunctioning.
Fix:
If the sound card works fine, you can ignore this for now. If it causes audio
issues, try:
Updating the kernel or removing/disabling the sound card module:
sudo modprobe -r snd_ctxfi
🔵 2. Bluetooth Firmware Not Found
Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: firmware Patch file not found...
What it means:
Your Broadcom Bluetooth device is missing its firmware.
Fix:
Install the missing firmware:
sudo apt install firmware-brcm80211
If that package doesn’t exist (it sometimes doesn't on Ubuntu), try:
sudo apt install linux-firmware
If Bluetooth still doesn’t work, you may need to manually download the .hcd
firmware file and place it in /lib/firmware/brcm/.
🟡 3. Failed to start: Process error reports
Failed to start Process error reports when automatic reporting is enabled.
This is related to Apport, Ubuntu’s crash reporting system. It failed to start,
which is harmless unless you're debugging crashes.
Fix (optional):
You can disable Apport if it's not needed:
sudo systemctl disable apport.service
đź”´ 4. NVIDIA DRM: Failed to grab modeset ownership
[drm:nv_drm_master_set [nvidia_drm]] *ERROR* Failed to grab modeset ownership
What it means:
The NVIDIA kernel driver couldn't take control of the display. This can lead to
problems with graphical display, login loops, or multi-monitor setups.
Possible causes:
Conflicts with Wayland (try switching to Xorg at login)
Another graphics driver (e.g., Nouveau) interfering
Wrong driver version
Fix:
Switch to Xorg: At login screen, click gear icon → choose Ubuntu on
Xorg.
Ensure you’re using the proprietary NVIDIA driver:
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
Or install manually:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535
Then reboot:
sudo reboot
đź”´ 5. gnome-session-binary launch failure
Failed to start Application launched by gnome-session-binary.
Could be related to a specific app or extension trying to autostart and
crashing.
Fix:
Check what failed:
journalctl --user -xe
Also check:
cat ~/.xsession-errors
You might want to look in ~/.config/autostart/ and disable anything you don’t
recognize.
âś… Summary of Fixes
Issue Fix
ctxfi audio driver error Harmless if you’re not using X-Fi card, or
modprobe -r snd_ctxfi
Bluetooth firmware sudo apt install linux-firmware
Apport crash reports sudo systemctl disable apport.service
NVIDIA modeset error Use Xorg, sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
gnome-session app failure Check ~/.config/autostart/, use journalctl
--user -xe
If you want, I can help you walk through any of these in more detail or dig
into a specific one first.

ChatGPT said:
Thanks for trying that. Since firmware-brcm80211 doesn't exist in Ubuntu (it's
from Debian or Arch-based systems), and linux-firmware is already installed,
but your Broadcom Bluetooth still complains about missing this file:
brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
Let’s manually install the missing firmware.
âś… Step-by-Step: Manually Install Broadcom Bluetooth Firmware
1. Check Your Device ID
Run this to confirm the Bluetooth chipset:
lsusb | grep -i bluetooth
You're looking for something like:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0a5c:21e8 Broadcom Corp. BCM20702A0 Bluetooth 4.0
The hex part (0a5c:21e8) helps confirm the exact chipset.
2. Download the .hcd Firmware File
If your system is looking for:
brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
You can try downloading the generic version:
wget
https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/raw/master/brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e8.hcd
(That link is from a trusted open-source firmware repo.)
3. Install the Firmware
Create the firmware directory if it doesn’t exist:
sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/brcm/
Then move the file into place and rename it:
sudo mv BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e8.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
4. Reboot and Check
Reboot your machine:
sudo reboot
Then check logs again:
dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
If the firmware loads correctly, the “Patch file not found” error should be
gone, and Bluetooth should function properly.
Let me know your lsusb output if you want help finding the exact
matching .hcd file.
You said:
user@user-pc:~$ lsusb | grep -i bluetooth
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 19ff:0239 Dynex Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter [Broadcom, 1.12,
BCM20702A0]
ChatGPT said:
Great, thanks — your adapter is:
Dynex Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter
USB ID: 19ff:0239
Chipset: Broadcom BCM20702A0
Ubuntu is looking for this firmware file:
brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
That exact file isn't distributed by default, but we can work around it by
using a compatible firmware. The BCM20702A0 chipset is typically
binary-compatible with others in the BCM20702 family.
✅ Manual Fix for BCM20702A0 – Dynex Adapter
1. Download Compatible Firmware
We’ll use a well-known Broadcom firmware file:
wget
https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/raw/master/brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e8.hcd
This file is known to work with many BCM20702A0 USB dongles.
2. Install It as the Expected Firmware
Create the firmware directory if it doesn’t exist:
sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/brcm/
Move and rename the firmware so the kernel can find it:
sudo mv BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e8.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
Note: You're renaming the file to match the missing one Ubuntu is asking for.
3. Reboot
sudo reboot
4. Check Success
After reboot, check:
dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
You're looking for a message like:
Bluetooth: hci0: BCM20702B0 (001.002.014) build ...
Or no error at all — that’s a win. Bluetooth should also appear in bluetoothctl
or GNOME Bluetooth settings.
Let me know if you hit any issues — I can help verify if you have the
right firmware or find a better-matched .hcd if needed.

Thanks — here’s what the new log tells us after reboot:
❌ Bluetooth: Still Failing to Initialize
Bluetooth: hci0: command 0x0c03 tx timeout
Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: Reset failed (-110)
This suggests the firmware you installed wasn’t accepted by the adapter — the
chipset tried to reset but timed out.
âś… Next Steps to Fix the Dynex Bluetooth Adapter
Let’s try one of these two options:
đź…° Option 1: Use a Better-Matched Firmware File
Your adapter is:
19ff:0239 — Dynex BCM20702A0
There's no exact .hcd for 19ff:0239, but users have reported success
using firmware for Dell or Lenovo adapters with the same BCM20702A0
core.
Try this file instead:
wget
https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/raw/master/brcm/BCM20702A0-0b05-17cb.hcd
Then move and rename it:
sudo mv BCM20702A0-0b05-17cb.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
Then reboot:
sudo reboot
Check again:
dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
If this fails too, you can try others like:
BCM20702A0-0a5c-21e8.hcd
BCM20702A0-0a5c-216c.hcd
Repeat the process by renaming whichever file you test to:
/lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
đź…± Option 2: Use btattach Workaround (Optional)
This is more advanced and usually for UART-attached chipsets, but in some USB
cases:
sudo btattach -B /dev/ttyUSB0 -P bcm -S 3000000
But most USB dongles don't use serial devices (/dev/ttyUSB*) — likely not
needed in your case.
🧼 Optional: Clean Up Firmware Folder
You can keep just one .hcd file in /lib/firmware/brcm/ renamed to the expected
filename:
BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
Try 1–3 of the .hcd variants and reboot each time until it works.
Would you like me to recommend the next-best .hcd file based on public
matches to 19ff:0239, or do you want to try the one above first?

ChatGPT said:
Thanks — that confirms the file is missing (the repo may have changed or
removed that specific .hcd).
Let’s switch to one that’s still available and very commonly used with
BCM20702A0 adapters, including Dynex-branded ones.
âś… Try This Widely-Compatible Firmware
wget
https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/raw/master/brcm/BCM20702A0-0a5c-21e8.hcd
Then move and rename it so the kernel sees it as the expected firmware:
sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/brcm/
sudo mv BCM20702A0-0a5c-21e8.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
Now reboot:
sudo reboot
âś… After Reboot: Check Results
Once back up, check whether the firmware was accepted:
dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
If the timeout/reset error is gone and you see Bluetooth activity, the adapter
is working.
Let me know what the dmesg shows after trying this — if it still fails,
we can try another variant or log the full usb-devices output to match
it more precisely.
You're making great progress! Based on what you’ve shared, here’s the
best next step:
🧩 Step: Use the Exact BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd for Your Dynex Adapter
The Dynex 19ff:0239 device expects the exact filename it
requests—BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd—and there's a matching firmware file in the
repo
forums.linuxmint.com
+12
github.com
+12
linux-hardware.org
+12
.
1. Download the Correct Firmware
wget
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/master/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
This is the firmware file for your exact USB ID.
2. Move It Into Place
sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/brcm/
sudo mv BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/
sudo chmod 644 /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
3. Reboot
sudo reboot
4. Verify
After logging back in, run:
dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
âś… You're looking for lines similar to:
Bluetooth: hci0: BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd Patch applied
...
Bluetooth: hci0: Broadcom Bluetooth Device
If you see that, your dongle should now work flawlessly.
⚠️ Why This Works
Your USB adapter is unusual (19ff:0239), and using a generic .hcd often fails
because the kernel won't load it for mismatched IDs. Using the device-specific
firmware ensures compatibility

Thanks — from this output, here's the updated situation:
🔍 Summary of Log Messages
❌ 1. USB 5-1: device descriptor read error
usb 5-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110
usb 5-1: device descriptor read/8, error -71
usb usb5-port1: unable to enumerate USB device
This means one of your USB ports or devices isn’t initializing properly.
-110 = Timeout
-71 = Protocol/stall error
This is commonly caused by:
Power-hungry USB device (like Bluetooth dongles) without enough voltage
Loose connection
Bad USB hub or port
âś… Suggestion:
Unplug your Bluetooth dongle, then plug it directly into a different USB port
(preferably USB 2.0, not USB 3.0/blue).
If it was plugged into a front-panel or USB hub, switch to a back-panel
port.
Try dmesg -w while plugging it in to watch in real-time.
❌ 2. No Output from dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
This means the Bluetooth stack isn't seeing any recognized device right now.
Likely:
The device failed to enumerate (see USB error)
Firmware didn’t even get a chance to load
This confirms the dongle isn't initialized at all — either due to power
issues or a mismatch in firmware.
🔄 Next Actions (Try This Order)
🔌 1. Re-plug to a Different USB Port
Then watch live logs:
sudo dmesg -w
You should see new lines like:
usb 5-2: New USB device found...
Bluetooth: hci0: Broadcom ...
If you still get descriptor errors, try a powered USB hub or a different
machine to test the dongle itself.
🧠2. Check That Firmware is Present
Make sure you’ve placed the correct file here:
/lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
And run:
ls -l /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
File should exist and be readable.
⚙️ 3. Manually Force Driver Reload
If the dongle appears in lsusb (run again to check), you can manually reload
drivers:
sudo modprobe -r btusb
sudo modprobe btusb
Then check:
dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
Want to Go Deeper?
If you want me to:
Help trace which USB device is failing (usb-devices or lsusb -v)
Explore alternate firmware variants
Verify if it's a power/driver issue
Let me know! A lsusb and real-time dmesg -w during insert would be ideal
for next steps.

what does this mean
Jul 09 12:09:32 user-pc kernel: UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in
/build/linux-hwe-6.8-N8JkCZ/linux-hwe-6.8-6.8.0/sound/pci/ctxfi/ctamixer.c:346:48
Jul 09 12:09:32 user-pc kernel: index 8 is out of range for type 'unsigned char
[8]'
ChatGPT said:
That message is a kernel runtime warning generated by UBSAN (Undefined Behavior
Sanitizer), and here's what it means:
⚠️ Breakdown of the Log:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in .../sound/pci/ctxfi/ctamixer.c:346:48
index 8 is out of range for type 'unsigned char [8]'
🔍 What it means:
The Linux kernel code tried to access the 9th element (index 8) of an array
that only has 8 elements (unsigned char[8]), which is undefined behavior.
It happened in the file:
sound/pci/ctxfi/ctamixer.c
— part of the Creative X-Fi (ctxfi) sound card driver.
🧠Why UBSAN Warns You
UBSAN is a debugging tool built into the kernel to catch programming errors
that can lead to crashes, security issues, or data corruption. This warning is
meant more for kernel developers than end users — it doesn't usually crash your
system.
🧩 Do You Have a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Card?
If yes, the driver may have a bug. If sound works, it’s mostly harmless — but
reportable upstream.
If no, the module may be loading unnecessarily and probing nonexistent
hardware.
âś… What You Can Do
Option 1: Ignore it
If it’s not affecting your system (no sound issues), you can safely ignore it.
Option 2: Blacklist the driver (if unused)
To stop the kernel from loading this buggy module:
Check if it's loaded:
lsmod | grep ctxfi
If it's there, blacklist it:
echo "blacklist snd_ctxfi" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ctxfi.conf
Then update initramfs (optional but good practice):
sudo update-initramfs -u
Reboot:
sudo reboot
đź’¬ Summary
It's a kernel-level warning caused by a small bug in the Creative sound card
driver.
It won’t break your system, but if you're not using an X-Fi card,
blacklist the driver to avoid the warning altogether.
Let me know if you'd like help identifying whether that driver is
actually in use on your system.

ChatGPT said:
Thanks — that output clears everything up.
âś… Your System Has Two Audio Devices:
NVIDIA HDMI Audio – snd_hda_intel
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi (EMU20k1) – snd_ctxfi
So yes, that UBSAN warning:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in ctamixer.c
index 8 is out of range for type 'unsigned char [8]'
is coming from the actual driver powering your X-Fi sound card (snd_ctxfi).
You're using it.
🎯 What Does This Mean Practically?
This warning is real, but not fatal.
It's a programming bug in the kernel's Creative Labs driver
(ctamixer.c), where the code tries to access one item too far in an
array. It's caught by the kernel, but it doesn't crash.
Your card is still detected and usable.
🔍 Should You Be Worried?
❌ No, if:
Sound output works correctly from your X-Fi card
You're not getting system instability, audio glitches, or crashes
âś… Yes, if:
You're getting odd audio behavior (e.g., missing channels, crashing audio apps,
or pops)
You're trying to use advanced mixer features and running into weird bugs
🛠️ What You Can Do
1. Stay on Current Setup if It Works
If everything sounds fine and you’re using the X-Fi:
Just live with the warning — it’s not affecting normal usage.
2. Disable the X-Fi Card (if not using it)
If you're mostly using HDMI or USB audio, and want to silence the error:
Blacklist the driver:
echo "blacklist snd_ctxfi" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ctxfi.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo reboot
Then only the NVIDIA audio will be active.
3. File a Bug with Ubuntu
This is technically a kernel bug, so you can report it here:
đź“Ť https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux
Include:
Your kernel version (uname -a)
Your card info (lspci, inxi -A)
The exact UBSAN message
That could help get it patched in future kernels.
Let me know if you want to:
Switch default output to HDMI or USB
Fully remove or replace snd_ctxfi
Try newer or older kernels with potentially fixed drivers

ChatGPT said:
Thanks for sharing the logs — here's a breakdown of the issues you're seeing
and what you can do:
đź”´ 1. UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in ctamixer.c
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in /sound/pci/ctxfi/ctamixer.c:346:48
index 8 is out of range for type 'unsigned char [8]'
What it means:
This is a kernel bug in the driver for a Creative X-Fi sound card (ctxfi).
The kernel tried to access index 8 in an array of size 8 — invalid and caught
by UBSAN (Undefined Behavior SANitizer). Likely not harmful unless you're using
the device and it's malfunctioning.
Fix:
If the sound card works fine, you can ignore this for now. If it causes audio
issues, try:
Updating the kernel or removing/disabling the sound card module:
sudo modprobe -r snd_ctxfi
🔵 2. Bluetooth Firmware Not Found
Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: firmware Patch file not found...
What it means:
Your Broadcom Bluetooth device is missing its firmware.
Fix:
Install the missing firmware:
sudo apt install firmware-brcm80211
If that package doesn’t exist (it sometimes doesn't on Ubuntu), try:
sudo apt install linux-firmware
If Bluetooth still doesn’t work, you may need to manually download the .hcd
firmware file and place it in /lib/firmware/brcm/.
🟡 3. Failed to start: Process error reports
Failed to start Process error reports when automatic reporting is enabled.
This is related to Apport, Ubuntu’s crash reporting system. It failed to
start, which is harmless unless you're debugging crashes.
Fix (optional):
You can disable Apport if it's not needed:
sudo systemctl disable apport.service
đź”´ 4. NVIDIA DRM: Failed to grab modeset ownership
[drm:nv_drm_master_set [nvidia_drm]] *ERROR* Failed to grab modeset ownership
What it means:
The NVIDIA kernel driver couldn't take control of the display. This can lead
to problems with graphical display, login loops, or multi-monitor setups.
Possible causes:
Conflicts with Wayland (try switching to Xorg at login)
Another graphics driver (e.g., Nouveau) interfering
Wrong driver version
Fix:
Switch to Xorg: At login screen, click gear icon → choose Ubuntu on
Xorg.
Ensure you’re using the proprietary NVIDIA driver:
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
Or install manually:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535
Then reboot:
sudo reboot
đź”´ 5. gnome-session-binary launch failure
Failed to start Application launched by gnome-session-binary.
Could be related to a specific app or extension trying to autostart and
crashing.
Fix:
Check what failed:
journalctl --user -xe
Also check:
cat ~/.xsession-errors
You might want to look in ~/.config/autostart/ and disable anything you don’t
recognize.
âś… Summary of Fixes
Issue Fix
ctxfi audio driver error Harmless if you’re not using X-Fi card, or
modprobe -r snd_ctxfi
Bluetooth firmware sudo apt install linux-firmware
Apport crash reports sudo systemctl disable apport.service
NVIDIA modeset error Use Xorg, sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
gnome-session app failure Check ~/.config/autostart/, use journalctl
--user -xe
If you want, I can help you walk through any of these in more detail or dig
into a specific one first.

ChatGPT said:
Thanks for trying that. Since firmware-brcm80211 doesn't exist in Ubuntu
(it's from Debian or Arch-based systems), and linux-firmware is already
installed, but your Broadcom Bluetooth still complains about missing this file:
brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
Let’s manually install the missing firmware.
âś… Step-by-Step: Manually Install Broadcom Bluetooth Firmware
1. Check Your Device ID
Run this to confirm the Bluetooth chipset:
lsusb | grep -i bluetooth
You're looking for something like:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0a5c:21e8 Broadcom Corp. BCM20702A0 Bluetooth 4.0
The hex part (0a5c:21e8) helps confirm the exact chipset.
2. Download the .hcd Firmware File
If your system is looking for:
brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
You can try downloading the generic version:
wget
https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/raw/master/brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e8.hcd
(That link is from a trusted open-source firmware repo.)
3. Install the Firmware
Create the firmware directory if it doesn’t exist:
sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/brcm/
Then move the file into place and rename it:
sudo mv BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e8.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
4. Reboot and Check
Reboot your machine:
sudo reboot
Then check logs again:
dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
If the firmware loads correctly, the “Patch file not found” error should be
gone, and Bluetooth should function properly.
Let me know your lsusb output if you want help finding the exact
matching .hcd file.

USB ID: 19ff:0239
Chipset: Broadcom BCM20702A0
Ubuntu is looking for this firmware file:
brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
That exact file isn't distributed by default, but we can work around it by
using a compatible firmware. The BCM20702A0 chipset is typically
binary-compatible with others in the BCM20702 family.
✅ Manual Fix for BCM20702A0 – Dynex Adapter
1. Download Compatible Firmware
We’ll use a well-known Broadcom firmware file:
wget
https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/raw/master/brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e8.hcd
This file is known to work with many BCM20702A0 USB dongles.
2. Install It as the Expected Firmware
Create the firmware directory if it doesn’t exist:
sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/brcm/
Move and rename the firmware so the kernel can find it:
sudo mv BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e8.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
Note: You're renaming the file to match the missing one Ubuntu is asking for.
3. Reboot
sudo reboot
4. Check Success
After reboot, check:
dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
You're looking for a message like:
Bluetooth: hci0: BCM20702B0 (001.002.014) build ...
Or no error at all — that’s a win. Bluetooth should also appear in
bluetoothctl or GNOME Bluetooth settings.
Let me know if you hit any issues — I can help verify if you have the
right firmware or find a better-matched .hcd if needed.

Thanks — here’s what the new log tells us after reboot:
❌ Bluetooth: Still Failing to Initialize
Bluetooth: hci0: command 0x0c03 tx timeout
Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: Reset failed (-110)
This suggests the firmware you installed wasn’t accepted by the adapter — the
chipset tried to reset but timed out.
âś… Next Steps to Fix the Dynex Bluetooth Adapter
Let’s try one of these two options:
đź…° Option 1: Use a Better-Matched Firmware File
Your adapter is:
19ff:0239 — Dynex BCM20702A0
There's no exact .hcd for 19ff:0239, but users have reported success
using firmware for Dell or Lenovo adapters with the same BCM20702A0
core.
Try this file instead:
wget
https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/raw/master/brcm/BCM20702A0-0b05-17cb.hcd
Then move and rename it:
sudo mv BCM20702A0-0b05-17cb.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
Then reboot:
sudo reboot
Check again:
dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
If this fails too, you can try others like:
BCM20702A0-0a5c-21e8.hcd
BCM20702A0-0a5c-216c.hcd
Repeat the process by renaming whichever file you test to:
/lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
đź…± Option 2: Use btattach Workaround (Optional)
This is more advanced and usually for UART-attached chipsets, but in some USB
cases:
sudo btattach -B /dev/ttyUSB0 -P bcm -S 3000000
But most USB dongles don't use serial devices (/dev/ttyUSB*) — likely not
needed in your case.
🧼 Optional: Clean Up Firmware Folder
You can keep just one .hcd file in /lib/firmware/brcm/ renamed to the
expected filename:
BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
Try 1–3 of the .hcd variants and reboot each time until it works.
Would you like me to recommend the next-best .hcd file based on public
matches to 19ff:0239, or do you want to try the one above first?

Thanks — that confirms the file is missing (the repo may have changed or
removed that specific .hcd).
Let’s switch to one that’s still available and very commonly used with
BCM20702A0 adapters, including Dynex-branded ones.
âś… Try This Widely-Compatible Firmware
wget
https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/raw/master/brcm/BCM20702A0-0a5c-21e8.hcd
Then move and rename it so the kernel sees it as the expected firmware:
sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/brcm/
sudo mv BCM20702A0-0a5c-21e8.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
Now reboot:
sudo reboot
âś… After Reboot: Check Results
Once back up, check whether the firmware was accepted:
dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
If the timeout/reset error is gone and you see Bluetooth activity, the
adapter is working.
Let me know what the dmesg shows after trying this — if it still
fails, we can try another variant or log the full usb-devices output
to match it more precisely.
You're making great progress! Based on what you’ve shared, here’s the
best next step:
🧩 Step: Use the Exact BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd for Your Dynex Adapter
The Dynex 19ff:0239 device expects the exact filename it
requests—BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd—and there's a matching firmware file in the
repo
forums.linuxmint.com
+12
github.com
+12
linux-hardware.org
+12
.
1. Download the Correct Firmware
wget
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/master/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
This is the firmware file for your exact USB ID.
2. Move It Into Place
sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/brcm/
sudo mv BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/
sudo chmod 644 /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
3. Reboot
sudo reboot
4. Verify
After logging back in, run:
dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
âś… You're looking for lines similar to:
Bluetooth: hci0: BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd Patch applied
...
Bluetooth: hci0: Broadcom Bluetooth Device
If you see that, your dongle should now work flawlessly.
⚠️ Why This Works
Your USB adapter is unusual (19ff:0239), and using a generic .hcd often fails
because the kernel won't load it for mismatched IDs. Using the device-specific
firmware ensures compatibility

Thanks — from this output, here's the updated situation:
🔍 Summary of Log Messages
❌ 1. USB 5-1: device descriptor read error
usb 5-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110
usb 5-1: device descriptor read/8, error -71
usb usb5-port1: unable to enumerate USB device
This means one of your USB ports or devices isn’t initializing properly.
-110 = Timeout
-71 = Protocol/stall error
This is commonly caused by:
Power-hungry USB device (like Bluetooth dongles) without enough
voltage
Loose connection
Bad USB hub or port
âś… Suggestion:
Unplug your Bluetooth dongle, then plug it directly into a different USB port
(preferably USB 2.0, not USB 3.0/blue).
If it was plugged into a front-panel or USB hub, switch to a back-
panel port.
Try dmesg -w while plugging it in to watch in real-time.
❌ 2. No Output from dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
This means the Bluetooth stack isn't seeing any recognized device right now.
Likely:
The device failed to enumerate (see USB error)
Firmware didn’t even get a chance to load
This confirms the dongle isn't initialized at all — either due to
power issues or a mismatch in firmware.
🔄 Next Actions (Try This Order)
🔌 1. Re-plug to a Different USB Port
Then watch live logs:
sudo dmesg -w
You should see new lines like:
usb 5-2: New USB device found...
Bluetooth: hci0: Broadcom ...
If you still get descriptor errors, try a powered USB hub or a different
machine to test the dongle itself.
🧠2. Check That Firmware is Present
Make sure you’ve placed the correct file here:
/lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
And run:
ls -l /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702B0-19ff-0239.hcd
File should exist and be readable.
⚙️ 3. Manually Force Driver Reload
If the dongle appears in lsusb (run again to check), you can manually reload
drivers:
sudo modprobe -r btusb
sudo modprobe btusb
Then check:
dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
Want to Go Deeper?
If you want me to:
Help trace which USB device is failing (usb-devices or lsusb -v)
Explore alternate firmware variants
Verify if it's a power/driver issue
Let me know! A lsusb and real-time dmesg -w during insert would be
ideal for next steps.

Jul 09 12:09:32 user-pc kernel: UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in
/build/linux-hwe-6.8-N8JkCZ/linux-hwe-6.8-6.8.0/sound/pci/ctxfi/ctamixer.c:346:48
Jul 09 12:09:32 user-pc kernel: index 8 is out of range for type 'unsigned
char [8]'
ChatGPT said:
That message is a kernel runtime warning generated by UBSAN (Undefined
Behavior Sanitizer), and here's what it means:
⚠️ Breakdown of the Log:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in .../sound/pci/ctxfi/ctamixer.c:346:48
index 8 is out of range for type 'unsigned char [8]'
🔍 What it means:
The Linux kernel code tried to access the 9th element (index 8) of an array
that only has 8 elements (unsigned char[8]), which is undefined behavior.
It happened in the file:
sound/pci/ctxfi/ctamixer.c
— part of the Creative X-Fi (ctxfi) sound card driver.
🧠Why UBSAN Warns You
UBSAN is a debugging tool built into the kernel to catch programming errors
that can lead to crashes, security issues, or data corruption. This warning is
meant more for kernel developers than end users — it doesn't usually crash your
system.
🧩 Do You Have a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Card?
If yes, the driver may have a bug. If sound works, it’s mostly harmless — but
reportable upstream.
If no, the module may be loading unnecessarily and probing nonexistent
hardware.
âś… What You Can Do
Option 1: Ignore it
If it’s not affecting your system (no sound issues), you can safely ignore it.
Option 2: Blacklist the driver (if unused)
To stop the kernel from loading this buggy module:
Check if it's loaded:
lsmod | grep ctxfi
If it's there, blacklist it:
echo "blacklist snd_ctxfi" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ctxfi.conf
Then update initramfs (optional but good practice):
sudo update-initramfs -u
Reboot:
sudo reboot
đź’¬ Summary
It's a kernel-level warning caused by a small bug in the Creative sound card
driver.
It won’t break your system, but if you're not using an X-Fi card,
blacklist the driver to avoid the warning altogether.
Let me know if you'd like help identifying whether that driver is
actually in use on your system.

Thanks — that output clears everything up.
âś… Your System Has Two Audio Devices:
NVIDIA HDMI Audio – snd_hda_intel
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi (EMU20k1) – snd_ctxfi
So yes, that UBSAN warning:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in ctamixer.c
index 8 is out of range for type 'unsigned char [8]'
is coming from the actual driver powering your X-Fi sound card (snd_ctxfi).
You're using it.
🎯 What Does This Mean Practically?
This warning is real, but not fatal.
It's a programming bug in the kernel's Creative Labs driver
(ctamixer.c), where the code tries to access one item too far in an
array. It's caught by the kernel, but it doesn't crash.
Your card is still detected and usable.
🔍 Should You Be Worried?
❌ No, if:
Sound output works correctly from your X-Fi card
You're not getting system instability, audio glitches, or crashes
âś… Yes, if:
You're getting odd audio behavior (e.g., missing channels, crashing audio
apps, or pops)
You're trying to use advanced mixer features and running into weird
bugs
🛠️ What You Can Do
1. Stay on Current Setup if It Works
If everything sounds fine and you’re using the X-Fi:
Just live with the warning — it’s not affecting normal usage.
2. Disable the X-Fi Card (if not using it)
If you're mostly using HDMI or USB audio, and want to silence the error:
Blacklist the driver:
echo "blacklist snd_ctxfi" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ctxfi.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo reboot
Then only the NVIDIA audio will be active.
3. File a Bug with Ubuntu
This is technically a kernel bug, so you can report it here:
đź“Ť https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux
Include:
Your kernel version (uname -a)
Your card info (lspci, inxi -A)
The exact UBSAN message
That could help get it patched in future kernels.
Let me know if you want to:
Switch default output to HDMI or USB
Fully remove or replace snd_ctxfi
Try newer or older kernels with potentially fixed drivers
