Same problem, eeePC running Ubuntu 8.04 Netbook Remix 2.6.24-21-eeepc and the headset is a Plantronics 340 bluetooth headset. The headset pairs and works well with my Nokia E50 and the Nokia E50 works OK with bluetooth dongle on both my Ubuntu 8.04 novatech laptop and my eeepc.
This is the bluetooth dongle: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) It took half an hour of messing about to get bluetooth working properly on the eeepc (though it works oob on the novatech) but now it is and I can pair my Nokia and transfer files from the Nokia to the eeePC (thought not the other way around although 'send' works - but that's different bug). eeepc is using bluez-utils 3.26-0ubuntu6which I think should include audio support for the headset? When I try to pair my Plantronics headset to the eeepc I get: Couldn't display "obex//[blah blah]/" Error: Host down Please select another viewer and try again. I've also had some timeout errors. This is what dmesg has to say: [ 50.654541] Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.8 [ 52.770120] NET: Registered protocol family 17 [ 54.289123] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 [ 54.299572] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:02.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 54.299595] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:02.0 to 64 [ 54.300642] [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20060119 on minor 0 [ 56.373602] NET: Registered protocol family 10 [ 56.376496] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions I don't know what else to check as I don't know enough to get any further - I can find plenty of people who have this sort of problem with various bluetooth audio devices in forums but haven't found a fix that works. Apparently, Blueman works for some people but the site is down for maintenace at the moment so can't find out if it works for me right now. Anyway, it seems that there are problems with the sound anyway. Some people say gbtsco (bluetooth headset manager) will let you pair the device but the sound doesn't work properly - anyway, it looks as though that package isn't being maintained now?
