Bluetooth headset no sound

[gibbestia]

Hi all,
I'm trying to use my bluetooth headset in debian.
I can pair and connect my PC with the headset using the graphical applet gnome-bluetooth, but I cannot see the device in the sound preferences.

The error I get in the pulseaudio log is:

Code: Select all

(   0.113|   0.000) D: [bluetooth] module-bluetooth-device.c: Sending BT_REQUEST -> BT_START_STREAM
(   0.113|   0.000) D: [bluetooth] module-bluetooth-device.c: Trying to receive message from audio service...

Additional INFO:
This headset works on Windows 7, OSx Lion and Xubuntu.
A different bluetooth headset works on my Debian PC.
The bluetooth headset is : Bluetooth Headset S500 http://mp4-manufacturer.en.made-in-chin ... -S500.html

Any Help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hey

I had a similar issue, here's how I fixed it:
1.Add to /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf this:

Code: Select all

[General]
Enable=Socket

2. Restart bluetooth in terminal:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/bluetooth restart

3. Connect to the headset and it should show up in the sound settings now.


Hope this helps
