Description Daniel.Savard 2014-08-23 17:17:33 UTC
I cannot get my headset to work with net-wireless/bluez-5.21-r1, media-sound/pulseaudio-5.0-r2, 3.14.14-gentoo and Gnome 3.12.

The bluetooth subsystem refuses to recognize the audio profile: a2dp-sink.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch on the headset and wait for pairing
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
The headset never connects.

Expected Results:  
Should connect and work.

Here are the messages from systemctl status bluetooth:

● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service

And here is what I am getting in bluetoothctl:

Since this is needed for disabled people using technical aids for hearing impaired I marked it has major. This kind of bugs should make its way in an official supposedly stable distribution.

Comment 2 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2014-08-31 14:02:35 UTC
Could you try suggestions from:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_headset#A2DP_via_Bluez5.2FPulseaudio

and its troubleshooting section?
Comment 3 Daniel.Savard 2014-08-31 16:21:50 UTC
I followed the instructions and result is as follow:

At this point I checked the troubleshooting section and just restarted pulseaudio with pulseaudio -k, then I just paired and reconnected as follow:

usr@feynman ~ $ bluetoothctl
[NEW] Controller 00:02:72:20:1F:84 feynman-0 [default]

	0000111e-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb
[bluetooth]# 

And now the device is connected properly.
Comment 4 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2014-09-01 09:54:40 UTC
Looks like a pulseaudio issue :/
Comment 5 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2014-09-01 10:08:57 UTC
Could you report this to pulseaudio upstream?
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=PulseAudio

Then post the link here to let us track the issue
Comment 6 Daniel.Savard 2014-09-01 17:43:54 UTC
Bug reported: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83361
Comment 7 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2014-09-13 12:29:19 UTC
5.23 should include https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83361#c1

Please retry with that  version
Comment 8 Daniel.Savard 2014-09-17 15:29:22 UTC
The problem is not related to pulseaudio as per the bug resolution reporte on freedesktop. However, the connection problem is still there and this is not resolved at all.

After rebooting, my device is no longer recognized and I have to restart over the discovery process by resetting the headset as if it has never been discovered by my computer. And even after restarting pulseaudio it fails to connect.

Here is the dialog:
