Bluetooth IOgear with i-sound headset
#5
Yes I understand, it works for you, However let me make it clear

it does NOT work on 2.6..for me.. due to 3.10 kernal ?...one would have to install lite 2.8 or update the kernal

my experiance was that 2,6 would not upgrade to 2.8  when clicking upgrade it said it would upgrade to 2.4 and thinking it was a typo I clicked anyway and it posted upgrade cancelled

my experiance with installing 2.8 was that after reboot the screen simply said no signal. thats it

after several attempts I was looking at the no signal.. thinking ..and bam the desktop loads...no splash..no code scrolling...wha

however due to bluetooth not working, blame the kernal to my understanding, giving 2.8 another go...same issue plus when attempting to update error cannot update package cache...is this normal?

QUESTION=So why no signal? solution?  try open /etc/default/grub as root and remove "quiet splash" then sudo update-grub, reboot

Solution to update is to open the package manager and click reload. it will give error but list the problematic sources. click settings/repositories/other software scroll down and uncheck the problem sources then reload.
this should be successfull, then try favorites/update.

this should get you lite 2.8 with updates.. then

now  go to file system /etc/bluetooth / audio.conf and edit (as root) as per link instruction and save

[general]
Disable=Socket
Enable = Source,Sink,Headset,Gateway,Control,Media

HFP=false

[A2DP]
SBCSources=1
MPEG12Sources=0

Proceed to open terminal and add ppa and update blueman,pavucontrol and pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

Code: [Select]

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cschramm/blueman

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install blueman pavucontrol pulseaudio-module-bluetooth -y

as the iogear is broadcom you will need fw-0a5c_21e8.hcd. the link in the instruction link was not working for me but i was able to google an alternative copy and installed to /lib/firmware

the link appears to work now...naturally

after reboot was able to pair and then audio sync

the isound headset is working with the iogear adapter

a tad frustrating but the tip on 3.10 kernal gave me hope..

now I have to rebuild the system and see if it happens twice and not to confident with the no signal boot and failing sources BUT

If that is any help to anyone else

cheers
