. I have been trying to connect my plantronics backbeat go2 via bluetooth to my pc. It successfully pairs and connects, but then after about 10 seconds it disconnects. I have been googling all night, and searched this forum prior to this post, but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and I know the earbuds work because it functions perfectly with my android phone.

Re: Bluetooth headphones
'dmesg' will show the kernel output when you connect them and might give some clue why it's disconnecting, or at least something to search with.

Re: Bluetooth headphones
I have used the Backbeat Go1 for a while using a thinkpad with KDE, bluedevil and pulseaudio.
It sounds like you have paired successfully, but you are not connecting to the bluetooth audio service properly.
First you can check if you have the pulseaudio bluetooth module loaded: $pacmd list-modules | grep bluetooth
If its not, install it, $sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
and try to load it $pactl load-module module-bluetooth
Now try to connect again.
You can easily select which program should output their audio to the headset using pavucontrol. If you don't have it yet, you should install it: $sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
If this doesn't work, I need more info:
What are you using to connect? A graphical program or the command line?
If you are using a graphical frontend, which desktop environment are you using(GNOME, KDE, LXDE, XFCE, UNITY,)
For the 10 seconds that you are connected, can you select it as a audio sink?
