I'm having trouble "completing" the pairing with my Bose SoundLink around-ear wireless headphones II (AE2) and Thinkpad X1, running Debian stretch (testing/sid) Let me start by stating that the headphones works flawlessly with my Android 5 smartphone, both sound and the buttons on the headphones. When pairing with the smartphone the pairing procedure makes the bluetooth led on the headphones blink first blue, then white, shortly, then flashing contant white, and the voice in the headphones says "Connected to <name-of-the-smartphone>". According to Android, the headphones are used for: "Phone audio", "Media audio", and "Contact sharing (pbap server)". Now on to the laptop.

The headphones bluetooth led changes from blinking blue to blinking white, but never stops blinking white, and no sound devices gets added to ALSA or pulseaudio. Maybe the headphones requires some features of my OS? Maybe it discovers for the "pbap server" on my laptop, or something? Maybe Bluetooth LE SMP issues? I'm willing to test, analyse more, or otherwise aid in the development if anything if it's required. /Martin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
