Re: [ubuntu-uk] Using a bluetooth headset
Darren, thanks so much. Adding uinput to /etc/modules does indeed work. I also found a bug (LP: 439166) asking for the module to be loaded by default to make this easier for people.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Using a bluetooth headset
While we're on the subject, I have Nokia BH-604 headphones. I'd like to use the buttons to control my music player. Does anyone know of anything which already does this?

Do make sure your headset support a2dp though (required for the 'High quality' option mentioned in the wiki - also known as stereo bluetooth) - the quality of the standard heaset profile (that you would use with a mobile phone for making calls) is awful for music or watching videos. Brief instructions: * Pair the headset (using the setup new device wizard on the bluetooth applet) * Go to System > Preferences > Sound * On the hardware tab, select the bluetooth heaset, and choose the high quality profile from the drop down * On the output tab, select your headset You have to do that last step each time you connect the headset (or at least I do), but that should get you going. When you disconnect the headset, the audio falls back to whatever was previously selected.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Using a bluetooth headset
Install the Blueman package. This is an alternative to the Gnome bluetooth manager, and provides easy connection to headphones/headsets.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Using a bluetooth headset
Hi, I've got no idea but a search for "ubuntu bluetooth audio" brought up a wiki page that may be useful. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothAudio There is a section halfway down on "High Quality" audio, which sounds to me what you want.
