10.4: Resolve Bluetooth headset issues after upgrade
bluetooth headset problems
i have a bluetooth headset which i cannot get to work as expected initially i could not get it to work at all. then it worked intermittedly and hangs the app that has used the headset, once headset switches off. after extensive fiddling it works now every time great so at least i know now where the error lies: after using the headset switches itself completely off or maybe my mac tells it to switch off? why is this happening? is it a headset problem? or a mac problem? has anyone got a idea? This is as far as my understanding of this whole issue goes so i would appreciate if you could read through the description of the error below which i made as detailed as possible and i also attached the console logs maybe this is this helping anyone to fix their own problem! i hope so, as i have found many people reporting problems one the web Regards Stephan My Setup Hardware Overview: Machine Name: PowerBook G4 15" Machine Model: PowerBook5,2 CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1) CPU Speed: 1.25 GHz Memory: 1.25 GB Boot ROM Version: 4.7.1f1 Apple Bluetooth Software Version: 1.6.0f2 Bluetooth Hardware Settings: Matjes: Address: 00-0d-93-03-8f-31 Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio Firmware Version: 2.1586 (2.1586) Bluetooth Power: On Discoverable: Yes Requires Authentication: No HCI Version: 2 ($2) HCI Revision: 1586 ($632) LMP Version: 2 ($2) LMP Subversion: 1586 ($632) Device Type (Major): Computer Device Type (Complete): Laptop Computer Composite Class Of Device: 1057036 ($10210c) Device Class (Major): 1 ($1) Device Class (Minor): 3 ($3) Service Class: 129 ($81) Bluetooth Headset Sony Ericsson HBH-300 initially i could not get it to work at all now it works intermittedly and hangs the app that has used the headset, once headset switches off A unpaired my bluetooth headset cleaned blued.plist according to article on http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050520082617274&lsrc=osxh rebooted checked that bluetooth pairing sysprefs and blued.plist were still clean and had no redundant devices and headsets. opened ichat preferences/ video paired headset from there it paired successfully and B i could hear and talk when i closed the ichat prefs the headset switches off after 5 seconds (as expected) i wait for a 15 seconds open ichat preferences/ video again ERROR (see console log at bottom #01) bluetooth audio failed There was an error connecting to your headset.
