OK I have just installed the last Debian squeeze and : -bluez (with the 'bluetoothd' daemon) -pulseaudio (with the 'pulseaudio' daemon) My audio works correctly with a normal headset. My audio doesn't work with a bluetooth headset. The 2 daemons are running : $ ps aux [...] root 2368 0.0 0.1 4064 1932 ? Ss 22:57 0:00 /usr/sbin/bluetoothd [...] 1000 3592 1.0 0.3 96388 3924 ? Ssl 23:58 0:00 pulseaudio --start [...] This is my ALSA configuration file : $ cat ~/.asoundrc pcm.bluetooth_hw { type bluetooth device 00:1E:7C:01:0A:5E profile "auto" } pcm.bluetooth { type plug slave { pcm "bluetooth_hw" } } And this is my device : $ hcitool scan Scanning ... 00:1E:7C:01:0A:5E Philips SHB9000 My bluetooth headset is not bound at all with my computer. Can you tell me what I must do now to make my bluetooth headset working?
