I guess you didn't manage to fix it?
Here's my btsco output (seems correct...):

I know I'm annoying people by bumping this up, so I'll stop now..

Thanks a lot for this howto

I've got my headset working. Well, almost:
1. The volume control doesn't work at all.
2. The headset microphone doesn't work. It also shows as an output device in alsamixer ??!

My headset is Nokia HDW-2 (http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,2383,00.html). Did anybody have better success with this one?

Hope anyone can help.

Thanks

One more 'irrelevant' question:

Under kde, how do you override the default output device when using pure alsa (no oss compatibility). That is, which of the following can be supplied as a device name:

Hi veezi,

if I doesn't misunderstand you, you simply want to change the device nodes for your soundcard -?
I assume you use the 2.6.x kernel with the udev (dynamic device naming support).
There you can write rules where you can define symlinks for nearly every device that supports udev.
You can find some information about writing udev rules at
http://webpages.charter.net/decibelshelp/LinuxHelp_UDEVPrimer.html#UDEV

Don't know what's your native language - but you can also take a look at a post of mine:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=193184&highlight=udev+cardreader
or search in the forum for other good udev guides.

Please supply the developers with your expirience.
In order to do that you have to suscribe to the snd-bt-sco mailing list:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bluetooth-alsa/

hi,
i tryed used the readme and found it very helpful but for me it needed several small changes in the process:

before i could use
hcitool scan

i had to
perform the "bluetooth start"

also the bluepin was not working at all under gnome.
it required the modifications sugested in this thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=232495&highlight=gnomebluetooth

after having added this and the modifications to hcid.conf
i could connect to my nokia 6600 (i included all bt modules sugested in the other thread as i wanted to use also my nokia 6600 over bluetooth) and to my logitech headset.

for teamspeak i could change than to /dev/dsp1 and it was working flawless.

beside my lsmod looks a little different, this surely cause i precompiled some stuff i kernel:

One question regarding the ebuild:

hothead · Posted: Sat Nov 13, 2004 11:34 pm Post subject:

I think it dont will do any harm emerge -uDv, because there is no other ebuild named btsco-cvs.
But since I have never emerged with -uDv I don't know it for shure.
If you have placed the ebuild in a local overlay that does not get synced via rsync, the ebuild will not be removed.
But it will get unmerged if you emerged it with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS - you have to use the package.keywords - see the howto.

I keep running into a problem with btsco..

SDP tool says;

hothead · Posted: Fri Nov 26, 2004 3:45 pm Post subject:

It seems that you don't have sco (sound) suppport enabled for the HCI USB Driver.
Networking support -> [M/Y] Bluetooth subsystem support -> Bluetooth device drivers -> [M/Y] HCI USB driver -> [Y] SCO (voice) support

Have you used my ebuilds? - the current version is broken because the configure method changed.

I will write a new ebuild for btsco this weekend containing the btsco userspace tool and the driver . The ebuild will look for the appropriate settings in your kernel configuration.

Thanks for the reply.

Those options are enabled in the kernel... Ive also done modprobe sco, which loaded the module ok, but didnt help the issue.

ok an strace on btsco gives me:

elduderino · n00b Joined: 27 Nov 2004 Posts: 6

works again with the 0.2 release.

but, still no sound coming through to my logitech hs01.

dmesg gives me this while playing xmms:

hothead · Posted: Sun Nov 28, 2004 9:04 pm Post subject:

Have you chosen the headset as audio device in the xmms alsa configuration?

elduderino · n00b Joined: 27 Nov 2004 Posts: 6

jupp, everythings on. in xmms i can switch between hw:0 and hw:1 (intelXXX and BT Headset) hw:0 plays my music hw:1 doesn´t start playing.

alsasound and bluetooth running. otherwise btsco wouldn´t connect to my headset.

hmm, ok joining the bluez-devel was a really god idea.

for everyone having my problems. (see post up there)

here´s what did the trick for me:

first check your SCO Routing:

mirko_3 · l33t Joined: 02 Nov 2003 Posts: 605 Location: Birreria

Ahhh, too bad...:

elduderino · n00b Joined: 27 Nov 2004 Posts: 6

you should try a different usb-dongle. your SCO Mtu is 64:0 it must be 64:<0 like 64:8 or something to work.

mirko_3 · l33t Joined: 02 Nov 2003 Posts: 605 Location: Birreria

I'll see if I can find another cheap one...
Anyway, SCO MTU can be changed with hciconfig, and I tried setting it to 64:8 but it didn't seem to matter... do you suppose I need to change ACL MTU as well? I will try it anyway maybe tomorrow..
Thanks for the answers.

I tried the new ebuild. It works fine! Thanks!

But I still got one problem... My Mic produces a noise that makes phonecalls nearly impossible. Does anyone have an idea how to fix that? Are there any configuration files?
