Re: [Ekiga-list] Alsa-Bluetooth-Ekiga Howto?

[George Boyd <geboyd53 comcast net>]

Thanks for the help. I was finally able to get it working by deleting ALL the bluez and bluetooth stuff and reinstalling. I was able to get the devices to pair. However, the results were very poor. Apparently ALSA doesn't play well together with bt-sco anymore.

Every time I tried to use "Headset" for my mic and audio, the programs (Ekiga, Skype, XMMS, etc) would connect and I could hear about the first second then the programs would lock up. So I don't know if the mic was ever really working.

I don't know if it makes any difference, but the dongle was stereo and my Motorola headset was mono. I might try again later if I can find a stereo headset.

Thanks again for all your help,
George
