Public bug reported: I have a Logitech Freepulse stereo Bluetooth headset that worked perfectly under Ubuntu 10.04. I recently upgraded to 11.10, and now sound will usually not work.
The headset appears to pair correctly. Now when I turn on the headset, its pairing light turns blue indicating a connection, but the "Freepulse" menu item under the Bluetooth menu shows it as "Off". Manually turning the menu item "On" seems to have no effect. If I open Sound Settings and click the hardware tab, the "Internal Audio" is selected and a "Freepulse Wireless" option is available, which I select. When I select this, I usually hear a slight "pop" sound in the headset. If I click the "Output" tab, again the "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" is selected, and a "Freepulse Wireless Stereo" option is available, which I select. After I select this, I sometimes hear sound (when playing music via VLC, Pandora, system sounds, etc), but sometimes I won't hear anything. I've confirmed everything's unmuted and the volume is at 100%. I've tested the headset with a Droid phone and an older Ubuntu 10.04 installation, and it still works just fine, so I'm confident the headset is working correctly.
