hi,

first of all: THX A LOT!

my sony ericsson hb-35 headset is working! i can hear sound and even the mic is working (tested with skype). i even could not get this work under windows! :-)

there are just some small points left:
1) i'm using kde 3.3.1. when starting btsco the sounddevice is switched to the headset, but when killing btsco it does not reactivate my "normal" soundcard. (kmix still shows the settings for the headset) what do i have to do?
2) in kmix the ruler for the mic is on the input panel
3) using the mic ruler does not really much adjust the loudness

I hope mainly number 1 is fixable. :-)

thx again for your work!

mh...i tried to use my bt-headset again, today. it gets connected and i can hear music with xmms when i configure it to alsa/bt-headset output but the headset does not get set as main device in kde or alsa generally. why is this?
when i tried it the first time, the headset was automatically the main device.

thx a lot.

-> The snd-hwdep module has to be loaded first, else you get this message.
Run modules-update and try to load the snd-bt-sco module again then the snd-hwdep module should get loaded automatically. Else do a reboot - modules-update is executed on every reboot.

Hey,
thanks for your efford.
But I have problems with the compiling. Ok, I have an ~x86 system and a 2.6.10 kernel, but ... maybe can anybody help.

astaecker · Posted: Mon Jan 17, 2005 10:04 pm Post subject:

I found the solution myself.

First, on an ~x86 systems there is a new automake version managment through automake-wrapper. Actuel is automake 1.9.x, but btsco still needs automake 1.7. So I needed an prefix:

i also found the solution to my problem.
my epox usb bluetooth adapter will not work connected to a hub.
must be in a computer output directly.

Just wondering, is anyone using a stereo headset with this stuff? I'm curious to know if it works, since a stereo BT headset might be a good replacement but my current crappy headset. :-)

I see two binaries in the package "btsco" and "btsco2", what's the difference between the two?

I'm also interested in a stereo headset

Anyone has experience with that?

just stumbled about this, I'm one of the developers of btsco.

there's little support for stereo headsets yet. It's not available as an alsa device yet, but you can stream audio files like this:

mpg123 --au - file.mp3 | sbc/sbcenc - | ./a2play <headsetaddr>

have a look at the project homepage for more information.
http://bluetooth-alsa.sourceforge.net/

I don't know whether this stuff (a2dp/a2play) is installed with the ebuild, though

Hi all,

i tried to emerge btsco-cvs but the ebuild can not download the sources from cvs:

I've updated the ebuild. You can now choose the kernel version
the module should compile for.

Please try it.

Hi all,
I have a noika HDW-3 headset and a d-link dwb-120m dongle. I have installed the ebuild and can get connected but I can't get any sound from xmms

My dongle also has the 16:0 SCO MTU, however I can't make it work, even in Windows. It will connect but I can't hear or record any sound. Using btsco, AT commands such as volume up & down are recognized, but I get no sound either.

My crappy dongle is a Keyspan BT-2A, so I'm looking for a new one. Any information on the D-Link DBT-120, does it work?

The Dongle from AVM BlueFritz! USB has allthough the SCO MTU 64:0! This damn thing didn't work.
Now I have a Yakumo dongle and it works perfect under amd64

kind regards
Thomas

Hi all,

had anyone success with the Plantronics M 2500 Headset ?

The btsco-cvs compiled flawless, and there are no errors or warnings, when I modprobe snd-usbx2y and snd-bt-sco.
When I start the btsco program, I can hear a beep, but the program does not return. Also I can't see any entries in the log, when I press the connection button.

Bluetooth in general is working, I had no problems connecting to and using my Nokia 6310i mobile phone.

Maybe it's not a problem with the driver, but a peering problem.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks, Thomas

Just a note of success. Followed page one instructions and got my Jabra 250 connected via my Kensington Bluetooth USB Adapter.

I couldn't get voice recording to work to test and see if the mic was working so was kinda worried, the XMMS test worked flawlessly. A test of a skype call to London, England from Southern California IP to IP worked just great.
