hi everybody,
( I already sent this question to the debian-users list, but got no
explanation. I hope to get one with this more specialized list...)
I'm trying to use a bluetooth headset, and curiously, it works only
for Skype(at least for the speaker, not for the microphone),
and not for any other program.
My OS is Debian Squeeze.
I have 4 devices, for which I have 4 different alsa config files:
.asoundrc.asoundconf.live (internal SoundBlaster)
.asoundrc.asoundconf.z305 (usb speaker)
.asoundrc.asoundconf.z515 (wireless speaker)
.asoundrc.headset (bluetooth headset Motorola S805)
If I do
ln -fs .asoundrc.asoundconf.live .asoundrc.asoundconf
the sound is sent to my SB-live card, from any program.
without specifying any device for them (aplay, vlc, totem, xine,
skype)
If I do
ln -fs .asoundrc.asoundconf.z515 .asoundrc.asoundconf
the sound is sent to my wireless speaker, with all these programs.
idem for the z305.
But,if I do
ln -fs .asoundrc.asoundconf.headset .asoundrc.asoundconf
the sound is sent to my bluetooth headset only from skype.
For the other programs, it goes to the SB-live card.
(NB: I had to disable pulseaudio to make it work from skype)
Here is the content of .asoundrc.headset
===================================================================
pcm.bluetooth {
type plug
slave {
pcm "bluetooth_hw"
}
}
pcm.bluetooth_hw {
type bluetooth
device 00:0C:55:57:AC:23
profile "auto"
}
===================================================================
I also noticed that the bluetooth headset is not listed in
/proc/asound/cards, and is not seen by alsamixer.
How come that Skype is the only program which sees all my sound devices?
Can anybody explain that, and may-be suggest a fix?
Otherwise, it seems I'll have to fill a bug report.
