I did not see any good detailed description of this. I agree with your assessment that when this device was first detected, you did not realize that you had to tell your system to use it.Īlso, these devices are usually battery powered, so make sure it is charged, or a fresh battery, or if it has a power cable plug it in. It's possible that I had just overlooked telling the sound system to use it in the system tray volume control like you said you had to do with your Bluetooth device.

I just read your post and the good replies to it. Headset Head Unit HSP/HFP (default) - volume controlled by Bluetooth device only and has microphone options, sound was not as good on mine.įYI: I do not recommend using "passive" USB hubs which do not have their own power supply because they do not work well in Linux, or worse they work intermittently. High Fidelity Playback A2DP Sink - volume controlled by computer and Bluetooth device, better sound, but no microphone option just speakers. On either Bluetooth device, it shows two sound options:
I connected a Bluetooth headset Motorola HT820 (and a Bluetooth stereo clock radio that is recognized as a headset), then I had to tell the sound system to use it which can be done from the system tray volume control (right-click, or regular click to Sound Settings) or from the Menu -> System Settings ->Sound.
