Thanks Daniel. Rolling back to kernel 4.4.0-87-generic #110-Ubuntu SMP seemed to fix the problem. Upgrading to 4.4.0-91 also seemed to cause other problems: My system started overheating, eventually slowed to a crawl (i.e., over a matter of minutes after each reboot slowed to the point of being u

Public bug reported: Bluetooth connection to Bose Soundlink II have been fine for years. Applied a few new updates in the last day or two --- system was generally up to date, I don't often wait more than a week or so --- and now I can no longer connect. Removed the device and re-paired just fine,

@Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt): Thanks for your assistance! I am not Mary Sherman, and I'm continuing to experience this problem, even with the PPA and after rebooting. I didn't subscribe to this bug, I didn't even know about it. I report bug 1691556 and you marked it a duplicate of this one. As I

The problem appears to be with setting up the input sink, which I couldn't care less about. If any knows of a way for bluez / pulseaudio to force a device to just connect as an output-only device (e.g., normal bluetooth speaker), I think I'd be fine, as I have no problems with numerous other bluet

@hife and @Mary Sherman (spot9019): You both indicate that the latest pulse-testing ppa fixes the problem for you. Can you both indicate whether you are running Unity as the desktop or KDE or perhaps some other? I still have suspicions that there may be a permissions issue that is specific to Un

I must unfortunately report that that the recently reported fix does not work for me. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS connecting to Amazon Echo. Pulseaudio 1:8.0-0ubuntu3.3~xenial1, which is the latest presently available from ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/pulse-testing as of today. The problem appears to result in the

Additionally, this issue also appeared along the line with Ubuntu+KDE and apparently was easily resolved, as described in ubuntuforums.org, [link](https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2318966). Quoting another ubuntuforums.org post (also KDE), [link](https://askubuntu.com/questions/763539/blu

I should also note that on the askubuntu.com site, I speculate that it may just be some permission issue deep down somewhere, and why. ** Description changed: - Pairing and coupling to Amazon Echo works, but sound is heard. + Pairing and coupling to Amazon Echo works, but no sound is heard.

2017-05-17 Thread Doug Morse
Public bug reported: Pairing and coupling to Amazon Echo works, but no sound is heard. I believe the issue is related to the fact that Amazon Echo is paired as a handset (i.e., speaker + microphone) rather than just as a speaker. I believe the critical error is found in a dmesg line such as: Fe
