Bluetooth headset mic not working after upgrade to Fedora 34

Hello,

Following the upgrade of my laptop to Fedora 34, I cannot make my Jaba Evolve2 65 headset mic work correctly.

The headset is correctly detected and paired, I have no issues about the output. With Fedora 33, I had two configurations:

  • High Fidelity Playback (AD2P)
  • Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP)

Now with Fedora 34, I have two more configurations available:

  • High Fidelity Playback (AD2P Sink, codec SBC)
  • Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP, codec SVSD)

With Fedora 33, I was switching to Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP) to activate the mic, which config was also set to the mic. I was getting sound in mono and could speak with the microphone. It was working fine, the OS in the sound panel was displaying input reception when I was speaking an everything was fine in video conferences.

Now with Fedora 34, when switching to either Headset Head Unit both for output and input, the headset still switch to mono sound but when I speak, I see absolutely no input for the mic when I’m speaking, and nobody hears me with it anymore. I don’t see any change when doing a reset of the headset and repairing it again with the computer.

I started to search for a solution and found this documentation, not up to date with Fedora 34 but it still helped me a lot and was a good start: How to debug Bluetooth problems - Fedora Project Wiki

I entered the following command in the terminal:

src/profile.c:ext_io_disconnected() Unable to get io data for Hands-Free Voice gateway: getpeername: Transport endpoint is not connected (107) looks to be a clue but I don’t understand/find how I could pair it. Most sources I find on the Internet are linked with pulseaudio but is it still relevant now Fedora 34 uses pipewire?

Here are my installed packages:

If anyone could help me and guide me to identify the issue, I would gladly appreciate.
Thank you for your help

There was a report about a recent firmware update causing bluetooth devices to disconect: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/bluetooth-devices-disconnect-and-reconnect-right-after-several-times-a-day/74252

Could it be the same problem?

Thank you for your answer,

Unfortunately, I’m not sure it is related, the error message I found in journalctl seems to not match. Looking at journalctl --since=2021-05-08, I have the following logs when turning the helmet on:

The headset, is detected as a keyboard? :thinking:

When the headset is turned on, I’m in A2DP mode by default, the one the microphone does not work usually (expected behaviour).

If I switch it to HSP/HFP (codec CVSD), I see the following:

mai 08 08:40:31 linux.home pipewire-media-session[2919]: bluez5-device: failed to switch codec (-5), setting fallback profile

If I’m activate the old HSP/HFP configuration, I get these:

mai 08 08:42:01 linux.home kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: SCO packet for unknown connection handle 0

It looks like there is an issue when switching configuration. One thing I note also, when I execute systemctl status bluetooth.service, whatever the configuration of the helmet, I see the same result, especially the following lines I posted in my first message:

mai 06 10:50:50 linux.home bluetoothd[9043]: Endpoint registered: sender=:1.93 path=/MediaEndpoint/A2DPSource/ldac
mai 06 10:50:50 linux.home bluetoothd[9043]: Endpoint registered: sender=:1.93 path=/MediaEndpoint/A2DPSource/aac
mai 06 10:50:50 linux.home bluetoothd[9043]: Endpoint registered: sender=:1.93 path=/MediaEndpoint/A2DPSink/sbc
mai 06 10:50:50 linux.home bluetoothd[9043]: Endpoint registered: sender=:1.93 path=/MediaEndpoint/A2DPSource/sbc

It is another clue or it is normal to have these endpoints registered even when I’m not in A2DP? Or is it just there because it is an available configuration?

I’m so sorry, by going to the vendor website, I just saw the headset didn’t have the latest firmware version, a new one was pushed this week. An upgrade of the firmware, followed by a suppression and a re-pairing of the device now works fine.

Thank you for your time.
