Bluetooth ALSA Crash with Skype

[Damionlecroix]

Upon Launching Skype and connecting my Bluetooth headset to talk on Skype I am able to make an initial call and then any further call results in this error output when running Skype from command line:

ALSA lib pcm_bluetooth.c:464:(bluetooth_hsp_hw_params) BT_SETCONFIGURATION failed : Input/output error(5)

SysLog has the following output:

I'm seeing the same behavior, with the same Skype output and similar syslog.

[[e-mail] (ccunningham-research)]

I also have a skype/ALSA/bluetooth problem

I can play a test sound through my headset after which I get this:

ALSA lib pcm_bluetooth.c:464:(bluetooth_hsp_hw_params) BT_SETCONFIGURATION failed : Input/output error(5)

[Lorenzo Zolfanelli (lorenzo-zolfa)]

Same problem... but also with ekiga, pidgin, gstreamer and everything that uses bluetooth-alsa
(Logs are a bit different, i attached mine)

[Lorenzo Zolfanelli (lorenzo-zolfa)]

From hcidump i see that after 1-2s computer doesn't send packet anymore... the only packets logged are the ones coming from headset

[Lorenzo Zolfanelli (lorenzo-zolfa)]

May you write your bluez, bluez-alsa, alsa and skype version (and also bluetooth dongle and headset brand?)

I'm using bluez 4.31, bluez-alsa 4.31, alsa 1.017, skype 2, nokia headset and sitecom dongle

[LumpyCustard (orangelumpycustard)]

Is this still found in Karmic?
