I have determined that this seems to be caused by trying to use a specific bluetooth A2DP device. On both 3.5 and 3.8 kernels, one device I have works, and another does not. I do not recall this being the case before upgrading my kernel to 3.8, but it works now in some cases.
DOES NOT WORK: my headset, an LG tone+ HBS730 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009A5204K) - produces logging like in all of the samples above. WORKS: my home theatre system, connected with a Belkin F8Z492TTP (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0047T79VS) - seems to produce almost no logging.

I have never used this feature (And do not expect it to be available on linux since apt-x is proprietary), but thought it might be a relevant data point. ** Summary changed: - CSR BS8510 bluetooth adapter cannot use A2DP profile + CSR BS8510 bluetooth adapter cannot use A2DP profile on LG tone+ HBS-730 headset -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1092693 Title: CSR BS8510 bluetooth adapter cannot use A2DP profile on LG tone+ HBS-730 headset To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1092693/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
