Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
I'm trying to use a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset for audio
input and output. Connecting the headset works fine, audio out is okay,
but the microphone produces a distorted, overdriven sound (verified in
Sound Recorder and Skype). None of the volume sliders in Sound
Preferences seems to have any effect on the microphone level at all.
Sometimes, however, the microphone suddenly works and produces a crystal
clear sound -- I have not been able to find out why it suddenly works.
I've tried killing and restarting the pulseaudio daemon, or pairing the
headset with another device (my mobile phone), and then pairing it with
the computer again, or using both GNOME Sound Preferences and/or
Pulseaudio's pavucontrol to set up the microphone. Sometimes it suddenly
works, but as I said, I don't know when or why.
This is under Ubuntu 9.10 upgraded from 9.04, pulseaudio 0.9.19 (all
packages standard). I also tried upgrading to pulseaudio 0.9.21 and ALSA
1.0.21 from PPA, and had exactly the same behaviour with that version. I
have since downgraded back to 0.9.19 again. The computer is a Thinkpad
T61 with Intel HDA sound chip.
Sorry for not including automated version information, but I'm writing
this on another computer. Can run apport later if needed.
