Under Ubuntu 10.10 & 11.04 I could not use my bluetooth headset due to terrible skipping problems on my Lenovo Ideapad S12 (WLAN: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)).
I noticed that if I turned of the wifi card, music over bluetooth seemed to be fine, but that was not an acceptable solution. Now I booted Ubuntu 11.10 with a Live-USB and bluetooth worked like a charm! Even after I installed the wifi drivers with the restricted driver tool (still in Live-USB session). The wifi driver used was "wl". Once I upgraded my existing system to 11.10, bluetooth was the same mess as before, however the wifi driver was still "b43" and the restricted driver tool had some problems. I unloaded the b43 module, purged all packages related to b43, fired the restricted driver tool up again, and now it was able to install the "wl" driver. Since then I am enjoying again the beautiful sound of my headset :-) Btw, in my case it was crystal clear that the b43 kernel module was the trouble maker. I listened to bluetooth music (bad skipping), unload b43 (skipping stopped immediately!), load b43 again (skipping starts), and so on... --> bad b43, bad b43 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/405294 Title: a2dp skips terribly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/405294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
