Can't connect to A2DP Device in Ubuntu 13.04

[billy3321]

I just upgrade my system from Ubuntu 12.04.1 to Ubuntu 13.04. And I found my bluetooth headset which work on Ubuntu 12.04.1 can not work on 13.04. My laptop is lenovo X200.

While I setup the device as Audio Sink with Blueman, It always report "Device added, but connection failed.". And if just set it as Audio Sink, It report "Stream setup failed".

I check /var/log/syslog, and found the bluetoothd has some error report:

bluetoothd[6054]: Permission denied (13)

if I run bluetoothd with command "bluetooth -dn", the error output:

bluetoothd[6231]: audio/avdtp.c:avdtp_ref() 0x7fbd674d4de0: ref=2

My /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf file contain the line in General section:
Enable=Source,Sink,Headset,Gateway,Control,Media,Socket

My bluez version is 4.101-0ubuntu8b1, pulseaudio version is 1:3.0-0ubuntu6, and kernel is 3.8.0-19-generic x86_64.

Does anyone can help me figure out what happen and how to solve it?

[EricDHH (ericdhh)]

Upgraded 3 computers from 12.04 (worked well) to 13.04. No connection to creative D80 and Jabra headset.

The output device was found and rejected as "connect but sound lowering".

[EricDHH (ericdhh)]

Installed the fourth laptop, another bluetooth chip. Same bug, this is so annoying.....

[EricDHH (ericdhh)]

Is it possible to rollback packages to 12.10 level to get it running?

[bowser (bwbernard-wong1)]

Blueman always fails to connect to my srs-btx300 bluetooth speaker with the error "stream setup failed" in 13.04 (it works in 12.04 in another partition on same machine)

 However I am able to connect reliably with the gnome-bluetooth applet that comes with Ubuntu's default install. The problem with g-b applet is that it cannot find my device, however if I first run in the terminal "hcitool scan", then click "Set up New Device" on the g-b applet menu it would be able to discover the device, and once the device shows up just follow the steps and connection is established quite easilly.

[bowser (bwbernard-wong1)]

P.S. I am running kernel 3.10 on both 12.04 and 13.04

[Steffen Sindzinski (stesind)]

It throws an dbus error:

GDBus.Error:org.bluez.Error.Failed: Stream setup failed

[penalvch (penalvch)]

billy3321, as per http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page? an update is available for your BIOS (3.22). If you update to this, does it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

[Mehrdad Vatanparvar (m-vatanparvar)]

Unfortunately, I think this bug should remain open as the problem still exist around.
The scenario is the same, everything was OK on 12.10 but after upgrading to 13.04, I get the same error when I try to setting up Audio Sink.
I use Dell XPS 17 L702x and the headset is Sennheiser MM 500-X.
By the way, I use Kubuntu 13.04 not Ubuntu and it's updated as well as Bios.

Does this problem solved?

now I'm using Ubuntu 13.04, I found:

If I use kernel 3.8.0-32, I can use HSP/HFP connect to my headset, but still can't use A2DP. But if I switch kernel to 3.8.0-33 or 3.8.0-34, HSP/HFP and A2DP both can't use.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

billy3321, given the kernel 3.8.0-32 was released Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:43:12 -0500, after this bug was closed, and a regression in 3.8.0-33 occurred for you, this is considered a new bug, necessitating a new report. Hence, please feel free to file a new report via a terminal:

[billy3321 (billy3321)]

@penalvch , the live system of trusty-desktop-amd64.iso daily build did not have this bug. The bluetooth headset can be connected by both A2DP and HSP/HFP.

But I will hope it can fix on next 13.10 or 13.04 kernel. 3.8.0-35 still have this bug.

Thank you.

[Gabriel F. (gabriel-14-fortin)]

I have the same problem in Ubuntu 13.10 when trying to connect to a Creative D100 device.

The device connects successfully but the audio sink cannot be set: "Connection Failed: Stream setup failed" message appears and the following line appears in /var/log/syslog:

[Janus (reslayer-mail)]

With formerly available gnome bluetooth applet (and lately from gnome control center) it works.
With blueman it does not (unless I kill pulseaudio process, reload alsa etc.).

Tried with headsets: CBR CHP636Bt, Creative WP-350, noname S-69.
Tried with at least 3 different onboard bluetooth chips and one USB dongle.
Tried at least 3 Ubuntu releases.

Problem remains.
