Public bug reported:
Newbie here. Posted this on mint cinnamon issues, was redirected here.
Can't say 100% for sure it is linux-firmware that is the culprit, but I
guess that forum member thought it was likely.
linux mint 22.1
package version 6.4.8
Earbuds are Oladance Ows2. When I first installed Mint 22.1 on my notebook,
bluetooth did not see the headphones at all, and I had to reinstall the
bluetooth packages to get it to work. Been fine since. Reinstalling bluetooth
this time, no joy. Other detected bluetooth non-audio devices seem ok, but I
have no other bluetooth earbuds to test.
After one of these updates below was installed, crackling started from
earbuds. Rolling back to 5/29/25 via timeshift snapshot fixed it; been
working fine every day since then, am avoiding updates for now.
Because it is a huge pita (which I didn't know when i set mint up) to
constantly roll back when you have ext4/lvm/luks set up, i can't easily
install one package at a time and retest each time. Would have tried
running apport before rolling back, but didn't know about it.
potential culprits:
apport python 3 library for Apport crash report handling
2.28.1-0ubuntu.36
linux-firmware 20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.12
net-tools 2.10-0.1ubuntu4.4
setuptools 68.1.2-2ubuntu1.2
wireless-regdb 2024.10.07-0ubuntu2~24.04.1
signal-desktop 7.56.0 (seems unlikely)
After rollback, noted am now on
linux-firmware 20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.11
which is working a-ok.
Other t-shooting info if it is useful:
- Earbuds fully charged or not, same problem
- earbuds fine on multiple other devices.
- Internal audio speaker in Mint on notebook is fine.
- Same problem after cold and warm reboots.
- Same problem on different networks at different physical locations.
- Same problem regardless of media playback (browser or vlc).
fyi & thx!
