Thanks Leszek, you were right. I didn't need to be bothering with hcitool etc at all. The Gnome applet had me sorted all along. I guess my understanding stemmed from reading too many out-of-date web pages. A new challenge for the readers of the mailing list: getting the bluetooth headset's microphone working with Twinkle. Twinkle is software I use to access my VOIP account (phone line). I am able to hear the people I talk to with Twinkle through the bluetooth headset having having (A) created a ~/.asoundrc as explained in http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices and (B), in Twinkle, opened Edit> System Settings...> Audio and, for Speaker, selected "ALSA: other device" and then entered in the "Other device" field: the word "bluetooth". The sound from Twinkle comes through the headset loud and clear. I tried the same for the Microphone: I selected "ALSA: other device", and in the corresponding "Other device" field, I entered the word "bluetooth". But, after making those settings, no one can hear anything I'm saying through the headset and Twinkle. Hmmmmm. _________________________________________________________________ Climb to the top of the charts! Play the word scramble challenge with star power. http://club.live.com/star_shuffle.aspx?icid=starshuffle_wlmailtextlink_jan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
