[Bug 1941977] Re: PC streams music over low-quality HFP/SCO connection, instead of A2DP/AVDTP
Thanks Igor, I didn't know Bluez issues are being tracked on Github, would've probably raised this there first/instead.

[Bug 1941977] Re: PC streams music over low-quality HFP/SCO connection, instead of A2DP/AVDTP
For comparison, I've attached these Android HCI snoop logs, taken when the same headset initiates a connection to an Android handset this time. From ~22:00:50 UTC when the ACL was connected between them, one can see that the handset remains chill, allowing the headset to connect any profiles its heart desires. The headset happened to connect only HFP and A2DP signalling here, before going "silent". Then precisely 2s later, the handset accepts the responsibility of connecting the rest -- it connects A2DP media, while the headset then connects AVRCP (probably on some internal timeout). Within 500ms, everything relevant had been connected and configured, and media streaming was underway, showing none of the issues I found with my PC. ** Attachment added: "HeadsetInitiated_Android10.cfa" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1941977/+attachment/5522608/+files/HeadsetInitiated_Android10.cfa -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1941977 Title: PC streams music over low-quality HFP/SCO connection, instead of A2DP/AVDTP To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1941977/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1941977] Re: PC streams music over low-quality HFP/SCO connection, instead of A2DP/AVDTP
Nope, if anything, it's even worse. On Indri, the PC audio doesn't even get streamed over SCO at all -- the media channel just gets disconnected when Bluez times out in the middle of an AVDTP SET_CONFIGURATION. Here, as before, both headset and Bluez are jockeying for first to connect/setup A2DP and the headset isn't handling this contest well. At the end of the whole thing, the headset just disconnects and the PC audio plays through the internal speakers. Bluez needs to wait for the designated 2s already in its code, before attempting to connect any profiles it suspects the other side failed to connect. I've attached snoop and syslogs taken during the Indri test. There should be more than enough data here already for someone to check this out, especially with the explanation offered in earlier comments. ** Attachment added: "Syslog taken when the headset initiates the connection on Impish Indri" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1941977/+attachment/5522606/+files/syslog_HeadsetInitiated_Indri -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1941977 Title: PC streams music over low-quality HFP/SCO connection, instead of A2DP/AVDTP To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1941977/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I attached snoop/logs where the PC initiated the connection, for comparison. There, the issue doesn't happen, the headset calmly allows the PC to establish all the profiles since the PC connected the ACL. One can also see the difference in flow: Aug 29 01:57:02 RhoPC bluetoothd[4053589]: src/device.c:connect_profiles() /org/bluez/hci0/dev_FC_58_FA_7F_E5_18 (all), client :1.160 Aug 29 01:57:02 RhoPC bluetoothd[4053589]: src/service.c:btd_service_ref() 0x556620ba9bb0: ref=2 Aug 29 01:57:02 RhoPC bluetoothd[4053589]: src/service.c:change_state() 0x556620ba9bb0: device FC:58:FA:7F:E5:18 profile Headset Voice gateway state changed: disconnected -> connecting (0) Aug 29 01:57:05 RhoPC bluetoothd[4053589]: src/adapter.c:connected_callback() hci0 device FC:58:FA:7F:E5:18 connected eir_len 9 Aug 29 01:57:05 RhoPC bluetoothd[4053589]: src/profile.c:ext_connect() Headset Voice gateway connected to FC:58:FA:7F:E5:18 Aug 29 01:57:05 RhoPC bluetoothd[4053589]: src/service.c:change_state() 0x556620ba9bb0: device FC:58:FA:7F:E5:18 profile Headset Voice gateway state changed: connecting -> connected (0) THe HFP service entered state CONNECTING pretty much as soon as I tapped "Connect" in Blueman, even before the ACL was established. Then 3s later, it entered CONNECTED once the HFP SLC was established, courtesy of ext_connect(). I did a basic search and couldn't find anything that would be hurt by removing that CONNECTING transition -- pretty much every spot that checks for state CONNECTING during transitions, expects it to mean "this service connection was locally initiated". So we just need to make sure it means just that, especially since I see no other indicator accessible to listeners. Since a bunch of guesswork was done to get here, it would be neat if someone experienced with the stack can confirm how much of this is even correct, and if the proposed solution makes sense :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1941977 Title: PC streams music over low-quality HFP/SCO connection, instead of A2DP/AVDTP To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1941977/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

That one's clear enough from the earlier log snippet and source: Aug 29 00:54:47 RhoPC bluetoothd[4046739]: src/profile.c:ext_connect() Headset Voice gateway connected to FC:58:FA:7F:E5:18 Aug 29 00:54:47 RhoPC bluetoothd[4046739]: src/service.c:change_state() 0x562f6441d710: device FC:58:FA:7F:E5:18 profile Headset Voice gateway state changed: disconnected -> connecting (0) Aug 29 00:54:47 RhoPC bluetoothd[4046739]: src/service.c:change_state() 0x562f6441d710: device FC:58:FA:7F:E5:18 profile Headset Voice gateway state changed: connecting -> connected (0) This ext_connect() seems to be called whenever a profile connection is completed, whether successfully or not, whether locally or remotely initiated. Above, we see the state changes it orchestrated -- it first transitions the HFP "service" to CONNECTING and then to CONNECTED pretty quickly: if (conn->service && service_set_connecting(conn->service) < 0) goto drop; ... if (conn->service) btd_service_connecting_complete(conn->service, err ? -err->code : -EIO); Each of these state changes gets propagated to a bunch of listeners -- one of which is policy.c. = I think that first transition (to CONNECTING) should not have happened, because it takes away the ability of any listeners to judge whether a connection was locally or remotely initiated, and act accordingly. The HFP service should've simply gone from DISCONNECTED to CONNECTED -- that first IF block should be removed entirely. = If a connection were indeed locally initiated, the service's state would've been set to CONNECTING way back, by btd_service_connect() probably since it looks to be the one that kicks off the connection. ext_connect() only has enough info to make that final jump to CONNECTED. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1941977 Title: PC streams music over low-quality HFP/SCO connection, instead of A2DP/AVDTP To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1941977/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

So why did Bluez initiate A2DP even when the headset was the one that established the ACL?

Checking that file, the offending code seems to be this in hs_cb(): case BTD_SERVICE_STATE_CONNECTED: /* Check if service initiate the connection then proceed * immediately otherwise set timer */ if (old_state == BTD_SERVICE_STATE_CONNECTING) policy_connect(data, sink); else if (btd_service_get_state(sink) != BTD_SERVICE_STATE_CONNECTED) policy_set_sink_timer(data); break; The reasoning is sound though -- if the HFP connection was locally initiated i.e. previously in STATE_CONNECTING, then go ahead and connect A2DP right now. Otherwise, respect right-of-way and set a timer to connect it in around 2s, in case the headset somehow fails to do so. The problem is, this HFP connection was NOT locally initiated.

[Bug 1941977] Re: PC streams music over low-quality HFP/SCO connection, instead of A2DP/AVDTP
I've spent a while studying the snoop/syslogs and Bluez source, and I believe I've narrowed down the issue. * From the Headset-Initiated snoop, we can see where the headset connected the ACL (23:54:47 UTC), followed shortly by connecting HFP (successfully). * Very soon after the headset connected HFP, the PC/bluez initiated an AVDTP connection, a bid to connect A2DP -- this is unfriendly behaviour, since the general convention is: whomever created the ACL gets to create the profiles. Or at least is given enough time to connect them, before the other end starts its own attempt. The result of this behaviour is that the headset, probably getting ready to connect A2DP itself, now gets confused by this incoming PC connection, its firmware apparently not strong or flexible enough to handle this A2DP crossover scenario, manifesting as follows: That AVDTP channel (for A2DP signalling) does get established, but then strange behaviour is seen while setting up the media-channel -- the headset takes 3s to respond to the AVDTP_DISCOVER command. These 3s end up being costly because... * The PC creates a SCO connection to the headset around this time -- I believe this is because the PC must route my current audio stream somewhere, and since A2DP media isn't setup yet after all this time, it (PulseAudio?) will settle for HFP/SCO. (Even this SCO connection takes 5s to complete, headset still not out of the woods.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1941977 Title: PC streams music over low-quality HFP/SCO connection, instead of A2DP/AVDTP To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1941977/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
