Bluetooth headset no media

No sound with bluetooth headset, and media freezes

After changing Audio Profile to High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink) , that works very well. I am using ubuntu 18.04 and blueman. My phone is Sony WH1000-XM3. The setup steps as followed:

1. remove bluez if it is installed: sudo apt-get remove —auto-remove bluez
2. install blueman: sudo apt-get install blueman
3. enable and start bluetooth service: modprobe btusb ; sudo systemctl enable bluetooth.service ; sudo systemctl start bluetooth.service
4. check it and unblock: sudo systemctl status bluetooth ; rfkill unblock bluetooth
5. reboot
6. turn on the headset -> click the green bluetooth icon on top-right corner of the screen -> choose Devices
7. Click Search and right click on your device, choose Pair .
8. Right click on your device again and choose Headset if it is not connected.
9. Right click on your device -> hover over Audio Profile -> Click High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink)

Now, test with a youtube video.

Note: You may need to click Headset a few times to connect and disconnect until it works.

Solution 2

I have a Divoom Voombox-outdoor, and I had similar issues. Everything playing would stop/freeze and it would not work after I connected it.

After I have searched on the internet, I have found a procedure to do when connecting and removing it. On a initial connection (and unique if the procedures after this one are always made):

• connect the bluetooth speaker/headset (may be using blueman or bluetoothctl or another equivalent);
• with pavucontrol or blueman (or equivalent), turn off the bluetooth device;
• disconnect the device.

Then connecting it (this time to work):

• connect the bluetooth speaker/headset (may be using blueman or bluetoothctl or another equivalent);
• with pavucontrol or blueman (or equivalent), choose the option High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink).

It would need to turn off the internal sound to make all programs use the bluetooth sink.

• with pavucontrol or blueman (or equivalent), turn off the sound device;
• disconnect the bluetooth speaker/headset (may be using blueman or bluetoothctl or another equivalent).

The three procedures can be done using only blueman, as on it there are options to change the audio configuration.

What may happen is forgetting to turn the device off on pavucontrol before disconnecting, which will require to do again the first procedure. This is curious, because the speaker, sometimes, turn off when that is done, as if its firmware had crashed (this is still better than Windows 10, which asks to reboot).

I use Xubuntu 16.04, so there may be differences between the programs used, but the idea is to always turn off the sink of the device from pulseaudio before disconnecting it.

After very painful update to 16.04 I have a problem with wireless headset Sony DR-BTN200. It doesn’t produce any sound, and the media freezes. For example, I open some video on youtube. It plays on laptop’s speakers, I can hear the sound. Once I connect headset, the sound stops and video just pauses (however, pause button of youtube player is not pressed). The same thing is when I try to play some mp3 or watch any movie. The only exception is Spotify — it shows visually that track is playing, but there’s no sound and also Spotify displays a notification that track cannot be played. Once I disconnect headset, the video or audio continues playing from the place it paused. If I try to first connect headset and then open a video, it doesn’t start (but is loading), and starts right after I disconnect headset. I tried to press buttons on my headset. I can tell that youtube reacts on play button — it shows buttons, just like if I moved the mouse or pressed any button. But there’s no any reaction, video still stays paused. Headphones are connected as headset, profile is Hihg fidelity playback (A2DP sink). The problem appeared right after update to 16.04, it worked perfectly with 14.10.

See askubuntu.com/a/837732/300665 if you run pylovers script in terminal before watching youtube, it should work. There is a bug report

Thank you for this workaround. I haven’t awarded the bounty as I’m after launchpad bug report and root cause.

A2DP Bluetooth audio randomly shows «(no media)»

Hence, I need to turn of Media audio in default setting (Left image) after headset connect with phone by Bluetooth. Solution: If you are searching for ways to toggle audio while being connected to A2DP or Non-A2DP I have written a test application which can provide you the basic knowledge of audio routing.

A2DP Bluetooth audio randomly shows «(no media)»

Sometimes when I connect my phone to my headset, the Bluetooth device will be listed as:

» Connected ( no media ) «

When this happens, it uses the «Phone audio» profile. The » Media audio » profile (A2DP) will also have a checkmark, as if it were connected, but all sound is coming from the phone’s speaker (see photo below). If I attempt to uncheck it, it will immediately recheck itself. When it is working properly, it will wait two seconds and disconnect.

Rebooting the headset, or disconnecting it manually doesn’t solve the issue.

Solved: The android system is likely connected to the headset for phone calls, and some other device for A2DP (media). Some other device is still using the audio connection, even though the sound comes from android’s speaker!

What this means is that if you have any other A2DP devices that you’ve paired your android with (laptop/stereo/etc) then you will have to disconnect via the other device, not android.

However under android’s «Paired Devices» list (see image), the other device isn’t always listed as connected , even though it is! If you manually try to un-check the «Media audio» profile for the other device, it will not disconnect! You must manually disconnect the other device outside of android.

For example: If the other device is a laptop, you must disconnect the audio connection using the laptop. If the other device has no way to manually disconnect (no buttons), just turn it off and use your android to connect to the correct device.

from other sources and discussions I’ve also tried to set highest priority as 999, 1000 and 2147483647 to the receiver

my manifest’s tag (tried also «.BroadcastReceiver» and full package name):

 Android.Support.V7.Widget.Toolbar toolbar = FindViewById(Resource.Id.toolbar); SetSupportActionBar(toolbar); var am = (AudioManager)this.GetSystemService(AudioService); var componentName = new ComponentName(PackageName, new MyMediaButtonBroadcastReceiver().ComponentName); am.RegisterMediaButtonEventReceiver(componentName); > public override bool OnCreateOptionsMenu(IMenu menu) < MenuInflater.Inflate(Resource.Menu.menu_main, menu); return true; >public override bool OnOptionsItemSelected(IMenuItem item) < int if (id == Resource.Id.action_settings) < return true; >return base.OnOptionsItemSelected(item); > public override void OnRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, string[] permissions, [GeneratedEnum] Android.Content.PM.Permission[] grantResults) < Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults); base.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults); >>

got no errors, but nothing else happens, either.

Can anyone please help me?

You can try to use the MediaSession and do not forget to play audio with AudioTrack
