[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1838151] Re: Poor quality audio with modern Bluetooth headsets in HSP/HFP. Missing wide band speech support (Bluetooth A2DP codecs).

2021-01-08 Thread Richard Merren
I think the problem was in the headphones. I found I was having trouble
on my phone as well. I contacted Sony support and they had me try a soft
reset of the headset, which seems to have restored function. I am still
getting bad mic sound on bluetooth, but I think it is just the low
quality sound on this thread and not the completely muffled sound I was
getting before. I will try reconnecting to the DG80 now and see if it is
any better.

Bug description:
  Bluetooth HSP/HFP audio quality is poor on Ubuntu comparative to all
  other major platforms (Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS, Android, iOS).

  Modern Bluetooth headsets (such as the Bose QC series headphones, many
  others) are capable of using HFP 1.6 with mSBC 16kHz audio encoding.
  As it currently stands, Ubuntu defaults to only supporting HSP
  headsets using 8kHz CVSD, and is incapable of supporting HFP 1.6 at
  this time.

  The ChromiumOS team recently tackled this issue -
  https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=843048

  Their efforts may assist in bringing this to Ubuntu, however it
  appears that there are quite a lot of differences considering they
  have developed their own audio server solution etc.

  The Bluetooth Telephony Working Group published the HFP 1.6 spec in
  May 2011 -

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1838151] Re: Poor quality audio with modern Bluetooth headsets in HSP/HFP. Missing wide band speech support (Bluetooth A2DP codecs).

2021-01-04 Thread Richard Merren
I can't seem to get the DG80 working correctly under PopOS 20.10. It
works great for listening to music (though that worked directly on
bluetooth without issues) but I can't seem to get the correct mode for
talk. Since you say you have success with it, I will play with it some
more before returning it and see if I can get it set up properly. It is
probably some kind of configuration thing on my end, but I was hoping it
would solve my microphone problems.

As it stands, my best option is using the headset with my phone for
Teams calls--the sound works perfectly there. If I find the right magic,
I'll reply again here.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1838151] Re: Poor quality audio with modern Bluetooth headsets in HSP/HFP. Missing wide band speech support (Bluetooth A2DP codecs).

2020-12-28 Thread Richard Merren
I installed pulseaudio-modules-bt and it does give some new options for
sound output and possibly better sound, but microphone sound quality was
still iffy. Recorded sound on Audacity seemed better and was slightly
louder (according to the DB meter), but a test call on Microsoft Teams
was still muffled and unintelligible.

I have ordered a Avantree DG80 dongle (which makes the bluetooth
connection externally and appears to linux as usb audio) and will
hopefully be able to continue working with that, but I would love to see
this problem resolved in pulseaudio.

For the record, I am using a Sony WH-1000XM4 headset on PopOS 20.10
running on a System76 Darter Pro.

Tested with 4.10.0-041000rc2-generic. Still did not work. Camera light
comes on, but image on cheese screen is black. If I go to Cheese
preferences, I see Device as "Lenovo EasyCamera" but the dropdown menu
is greyed out and I can't select it.

Running [vlc v4l2:///dev/video0] gives me the video light, but VLC shows
me the orange cone instead of any video.

Running [mplayer tv:// -tv

repeated error messages as follows:

Public bug reported:

I was following bug #1433906 in the hopes that it would fix the problem
with this device, and was instructed to open a separate bug for this.
The camera stopped working a few Ubuntu versions ago. It shows up in
lsusb as follows:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 5986:055e Acer, Inc

When I use cheese or other camera applications, the light next to the
camera goes on but the video output is all black. I am currently using
yakkety (16.10) and I have enabled proposed to get the latest kernel and
test the fix from the other bug. Here is the version output from uname
-a (with hostname removed out of excessive security paranoia):

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1433906] Re: Acer, Inc ID 5986:055a is useless after 14.04.2 installed.

2017-01-04 Thread Richard Merren
I thought I had this same problem, but my camera is the 5986:055e ('e'
instead of 'a'), and it is still not working on kernel 4.8.0-34-generic
#36-Ubuntu.
