[Touch-packages] [Bug 1886714] Re: Bluetooth disconnects, and then sound fails on reconnect

2020-09-01 Thread John Erling Blad
As soon as I can get an [Asus USB BT500](https://www.asus.com/Networking
/USB-BT500/) I will try that, as I suspect this issue is somehow related
to the chip in the dongle. It seems like all dongles with the same chip
has the same issue. The sound problem is probably (?) a secondary
effect, but that is the most prominent effect.

  Bluetooth disconnects, and then sound fails on reconnect

Bug description:
  This bug has persisted over several years, and several versions, and
  after a lot of investigation I'm not really any closer on what's going
  on.

  I have two pretty old GA MA78gm S2H mainboards, configured slightly
  different, and otherwise working properly. Both of them have run both
  Ubuntu and Windows. The problem seems to have been minimized when
  running Win10, and even if it is there it seems like Win10 recover
  when it happen. I wonder if I started noticing the problem under
  Ubuntu 14.x, but I'm pretty sure it was there already at Ubuntu 16.x.
  I'm now running Ubuntu 19.10 and Gnome 3.34.2. (Just for the record,
  the bug also persisted in Ubu 18.04 for as long as I was using it.)

  It isn't really an option to switch the mainboards, as there are too
  much custom-builds running on them for the moment. They will probably
  be replaced when I have time to rebuild everything. ;)

  To make Bluetooth work I use an ASUS USB-BT400, which report as
  “BCM920702 Bluetooth 4.0”, or more accurately “BCM20702A1
  (001.002.014) build 1467”. I have also used other dongles, but it
  seems like all of them has the same chipset.

  Now…

  Given I restart the computer
  And boot into Ubuntu 19.10
  And log in as myself
  And attach a pair of Sony MDR-ZX770BN
  When I listen to sound from a movie with A2DP
  Then at some random point it start to lag noticeably (sound becomes scratchy)
  And suddenly disconnects (at this point it seems like it is Bluetooth that 
disconnects)

  It may take 5–10 minutes and up to several hours before it
  disconnects.

  Given I turn the headphones off
  And back on
  When it reconnects to the computer
  Then the computer fails to enable the sound device (visible in the preference 
manager f.ex.)

  There are several reports of various equipments that disconnect, and I
  wonder if this could be the same problem.

  Problem 1

  The dongle is rather hot when it disconnects. This is mere
  speculation, but I wonder if the disconnect happen because either the
  mainboard gives to little current and thus it fails due to voltage
  drop, or it fails due to overheating. It seems like the port should
  have enough current to sustain the dongle, but I wonder if the
  mainboard could let several ports share the same power source, and
  thus it fail to deliver enough current. There are other devices
  powered by the USB ports, and they don't seem to fail, which seems
  likely to happen if power is the issue.

  The issue seems to be somewhat related to the quality of the audio,
  which makes me wonder whether higher quality gives more transferred
  data, which again gives higher power consumption. It also seems like
  the issue can be triggered by moving away from the computer. That
  would give higher tx power, which could make the dongle overheat or
  mainboard could fail to provide enough current.

  Is there any way to get a more specific failure report from the
  dongle?

  Problem 2

  After the headphone reconnects it seems like the sound system isn't
  working properly. I've been checking, and everything seems correct,
  still the headphone is missing as an output device. I have not been
  able to figure out what makes the sound system fail, and I have not
  been able to make it recover. Only way to recover seems to be to do a
  cold reboot. A simple warm reboot does not fix the problem, but this
  can be related to problem 1.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1886714] Re: Bluetooth disconnects, and then sound fails on reconnect

2020-07-10 Thread John Erling Blad
Slightly different machine, running 20.04 LTS, but not too different I
guess. Uses the same BT-400 dongle as the other machine, the Hama dongle
seems to create additional problems even if it should use the same chip.

Also tried Fedora 32 from a live USB stick, it had the same problem.

I wonder if it somehow is triggered by sampling rate, number of bits,
encoding, or something similar as it wasn't triggered while I saw “The
Old Guard” but when I started “Nighfliers” it emerged pretty fast.

It seems to start with an increasing delay (lack of sync) until it
fails.

When it did fail before the apport report the sound in my Bluetooth
headphones stopped, but it was still connected in the Bluetooth pane in
“preference”. I turned the headphones off, but they were still listed as
connected. Turned them back on, still connected. Tried to manually set
the output device, no change. Then ran apport-collect.

The bug was infact the reason I updated to 19.04 and later to 19.10, but

Title:
  Bluetooth disconnects, and then sound fails on reconnect

Bug description:
  This bug has persisted over several years, and several versions, and
  after a lot of investigation I'm not really any closer on what's going
  on.

  I have two pretty old GA MA78gm S2H mainboards, configured slightly
  different, and otherwise working properly. Both of them have run both
  Ubuntu and Windows. The problem seems to have been minimized when
  running Win10, and even if it is there it seems like Win10 recover
  when it happen. I wonder if I started noticing the problem under
  Ubuntu 14.x, but I'm pretty sure it was there already at Ubuntu 16.x.
  I'm now running Ubuntu 19.10 and Gnome 3.34.2. (Just for the record,
  the bug also persisted in Ubu 18.04 for as long as I was using it.)

  It isn't really an option to switch the mainboards, as there are too
  much custom-builds running on them for the moment. They will probably
  be replaced when I have time to rebuild everything. ;)

  To make Bluetooth work I use an ASUS USB-BT400, which report as
  “BCM920702 Bluetooth 4.0”, or more accurately “BCM20702A1
  (001.002.014) build 1467”. I have also used other dongles, but it
  seems like all of them has the same chipset.

  Now…

  Given I restart the computer
  And boot into Ubuntu 19.10
  And log in as myself
  And attach a pair of Sony MDR-ZX770BN
  When I listen to sound from a movie with A2DP
  Then at some random point it start to lag noticeably (sound becomes scratchy)
  And suddenly disconnects (at this point it seems like it is Bluetooth that 
disconnects)

  It may take 5–10 minutes and up to several hours before it
  disconnects.

  Given I turn the headphones off
  And back on
  When it reconnects to the computer
  Then the computer fails to enable the sound device (visible in the preference 
manager f.ex.)

  There are several reports of various equipments that disconnect, and I
  wonder if this could be the same problem.

  Problem 1

  The dongle is rather hot when it disconnects. This is mere
  speculation, but I wonder if the disconnect happen because either the
  mainboard gives to little current and thus it fails due to voltage
  drop, or it fails due to overheating. It seems like the port should
  have enough current to sustain the dongle, but I wonder if the
  mainboard could let several ports share the same power source, and
  thus it fail to deliver enough current. There are other devices
  powered by the USB ports, and they don't seem to fail, which seems
  likely to happen if power is the issue.

  The issue seems to be somewhat related to the quality of the audio,
  which makes me wonder whether higher quality gives more transferred
  data, which again gives higher power consumption. It also seems like
  the issue can be triggered by moving away from the computer. That
  would give higher tx power, which could make the dongle overheat or
  mainboard could fail to provide enough current.

  Is there any way to get a more specific failure report from the
  dongle?

  Problem 2

  After the headphone reconnects it seems like the sound system isn't
  working properly. I've been checking, and everything seems correct,
  still the headphone is missing as an output device. I have not been
  able to figure out what makes the sound system fail, and I have not
  been able to make it recover. Only way to recover seems to be to do a
  cold reboot. A simple warm reboot does not fix the problem, but this
  can be related to problem 1.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1886714] Re: Bluetooth disconnects, and then sound fails on reconnect

2020-07-07 Thread John Erling Blad
There are several reports on the net talking about random disconnects
with Bluetooth dongles reporting as BCM20702A0 and BCM20702A1, that
might be important.

Win10 experience the same problems, but it seems like they are able to
recover.

It seems like my HK Onyx Studio 4 has the same problem, but much less
frequently. I have not tried to make any statistics though. I had a pair
of Philips Bluetooth headphones that also had this problem. In short,
I'm pretty sure it is not the devices that are the problem, although
they may use the same chipset.

I don't experience the same problem when the sound devices are attached
to Android devices.

So the problem persists over several sound devices, over several
Bluetooth dongles, and over several mainboards. That should indicate
that the problem somehow emerge from the system, even if Win10 seems to
have fixed it to some degree.

Bug description:
  This bug has persisted over several years, and several versions, and
  after a lot of investigation I'm not really any closer on what's going
  on.

  I have two pretty old GA MA78gm S2H mainboards, configured slightly
  different, and otherwise working properly. Both of them have run both
  Ubuntu and Windows. The problem seems to have been minimized when
  running Win10, and even if it is there it seems like Win10 recover
  when it happen. I wonder if I started noticing the problem under
  Ubuntu 14.x, but I'm pretty sure it was there already at Ubuntu 16.x.
  I'm now running Ubuntu 19.10 and Gnome 3.34.2.

  It isn't really an option to switch the mainboards, as there are too
  much custom-builds running on them for the moment. They will probably
  be replaced when I have time to rebuild everything. ;)

  To make Bluetooth work I use an ASUS USB-BT400, which report as
  “BCM920702 Bluetooth 4.0”, or more accurately “BCM20702A1
  (001.002.014) build 1467”. I have also used other dongles, but it
  seems like all of them has the same chipset.

  Now…

  Given I restart the computer
  And boot into Ubuntu 19.10
  And log in as myself
  And attach a pair of Sony MDR-ZX770BN
  When I listen to sound from a movie with A2DP
  Then at some random point it start to lag noticeably (sound becomes scratchy)
  And suddenly disconnects (at this point it seems like it is Bluetooth that 
disconnects)

  It may take 5–10 minutes and up to several hours before it
  disconnects.

  Given I turn the headphones off
  And back on
  When it reconnects to the computer
  Then the computer fails to enable the sound device (visible in the preference 
manager f.ex.)

  There are several reports of various equipments that disconnect, and I
  wonder if this could be the same problem.

  Problem 1

  The dongle is rather hot when it disconnects. This is mere
  speculation, but I wonder if the disconnect happen because either the
  mainboard gives to little current and thus it fails due to voltage
  drop, or it fails due to overheating. It seems like the port should
  have enough current to sustain the dongle, but I wonder if the
  mainboard could let several ports share the same power source, and
  thus it fail to deliver enough current. There are other devices
  powered by the USB ports, and they don't seem to fail, which seems
  likely to happen if power is the issue.

  The issue seems to be somewhat related to the quality of the audio,
  which makes me wonder whether higher quality gives more transferred
  data, which again gives higher power consumption. It also seems like
  the issue can be triggered by moving away from the computer. That
  would give higher tx power, which could make the dongle overheat or
  mainboard could fail to provide enough current.

  Is there any way to get a more specific failure report from the
  dongle?

  Problem 2

  After the headphone reconnects it seems like the sound system isn't
  working properly. I've been checking, and everything seems correct,
  still the headphone is missing as an output device. I have not been
  able to figure out what makes the sound system fail, and I have not
  been able to make it recover. Only way to recover seems to be to do a
  cold reboot. A simple warm reboot does not fix the problem, but this
  can be related to problem 1.
