[gentoo-user] Bluetooth head phone

[Raphael MD]

Hi everyone,

I'm suffering a lot to put sound on my Bluetooth's head phone.

The Bluez5 recognize my bt device.
The pulseaudio is working normally, but A2DP protocol do not appear in pavucontrol options.

I've followed the gentoo wiki, and looked at arch wiki to.

Anyone have a path to this be difficult task bt+headphone

Thanks

I've used Bluedevil under KDE.

My headphone is correctly paired, both headphone and PC are connected.

But I do not have any sound through headphone.

I've read some Arch forums and they tell about PulseAudio 10 bug, when Pavucontrol does not detect A2DP sink profile.

​The problem is the solutions proposed does not work.​

I don't have your bt headphone to know what works, but have you tried using
bluetoothctl to manage the bt controller on your PC and set up the connection?

   I've tried bluetoothctl, and it can connect without problem, but no sound.​

emerge --info pulseaudio please? Especially the "was built with the
following USE flags" part

Ok, that's then:
USE="X alsa alsa-plugin asyncns bluetooth caps dbus gdbm glib gnome gtk
ipv6 orc qt4 ssl tcpd udev webrtc-aec -doc -equalizer -jack (-libressl)
-libsamplerate -lirc -native-headset (-neon) -ofono-headset (-oss)
-realtime (-selinux) -sox (-system-wide) -systemd -test -zeroconf"
ABI_X86="32 64 -x32"

I've also found https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_headset#
A2DP_profile_is_unavailable like another subthread, so that might be
one part to care about, to not hit that while testing other things to
get to work.
Please also give a try to USE=native-headset on pulseaudio, I think
that USE flag setup (packaging-wise) might be a bit suboptimal if that
makes it work - please try.

Hi, I've tried USE=native-headset, and didn't work.
