I can supply additional logs/traces. After 13.04 -> 13.10 upgrade, Ubuntu rendered my BT speakers useless. I'm on -generic amd64 kernel with 16GB RAM and a quad-core CPU (top of the line Lenovo T530 notebook).
I had to delete+re-pair via blueman, then it started working, but I've been getting constant audio freezes/stutter ever since. This is the reason, although why it happens I have no idea - no other messages anywhere, CPU is idling, memory in abundance: Dec 4 19:18:24 ce02817 pulseaudio[3184]: [bluetooth] module-bluetooth-device.c: Skipping 40407 us (= 7124 bytes) in audio stream Dec 4 19:18:24 ce02817 pulseaudio[3184]: [bluetooth] module-bluetooth-device.c: Skipping 41043 us (= 7236 bytes) in audio stream The "stutters" are actually rather long audio dropouts (up to 1.5sec, definitely not in us range), usually in a sequence of 2-5 then about a minute OK and repeat. Before the upgrade, none BT/audio issues whatsoever (same speakers). Additionally, all audio (even the speaker check in control centre) is delayed by about 2-3sec when routed via BT. As in: click "Left speaker", button depresses, nothing for 2-3sec, then sound. Clicking left, right, left: the same, all played like a delayed FIFO. Possibly related is another problem - in Pulse Audio. After suspend/resume while listening to BT, system audio is dead and cannot be restarted.

I literally haven't had so many things broken with my desktop since upgrading good old Debian to Potato back in ~2001, but stable release Saucy trumps even that, because I can't even login to the desktop environment (after logging in, all sessions hang around gnome-keyring-daemon step with blank unkillable desktop). None of them! Not Flashback, not even my own (freedesktop compliant!) cusom WM gnome-fluxbox .session that worked for ages (and no, I have no desire to click & fight my way through that pathetic excuse for Linux Desktop Environment called Unity, so I haven't tried that one). Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy my funky Ubuntu ride through Maverick - Natty - Oneiric - Precise - Quantal - Raring, but it's time to return home. This "We're doing it our way, because it's The Best Way, so screw the rest" attitude adopted by most distros in the early days of Linux was precisely why I've fallen in love with the unassuming and open philosophy of Debian back in 90s. If Ubuntu's mission is to entice noobs while alienating gurus and power users, well, then congrats to a job... done. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1242272 Title: [HP EliteBook 8560w] Bluetooth does not work on ubuntu 13.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1242272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
