[Solved] Bluetooth headset isn't working after system upgrade

Hi!

I've just upgraded my system (I do it once a weak), but something happend with the bluetooth system. My headset (Arctic P311) is not working anymore. I use Blueman to connect as audio host (or audio sink, don't know wich is the correct translation from my language - connection as headset has never worked), but I can't make it work. Sometimes it connects, but has no audio output. It isn't showing up in the audio device list. I tried gnome-bluetooth, but bluetooth-applet just won't start, it shows only this message:

(bluetooth-applet:18463): Bluetooth-WARNING **: Could not open RFKILL control device, please verify your installation.

Today morning everything was fine.
If I try to connect it as audio host with blueman-manager, I get this message if it connects:

kernel: [ 2070.380198] input: 00:1A:7D:D0:98:00 as /devices/virtual/input/input27

and this if it doesn't:

bluetoothd[1064]: Host is down (112)

Why input device?
If I try to connect as headset, I get this:

bluetoothd[1064]: Endpoint replied with an error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod

There is no problem with the headset, it's working properly with a mobile.

What should I do?

Hello, there seems to be some problem with BlueZ 4.97.
Try downgrading to 4.96 if you still have it in your /var/cache/pacman/pkg

And it worked! Thanks!

I've just found another solution - add the line

Enable=Socket

in [General] section in /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf. Works with bluez 4.98 (meanwhile the package is flagged out of date).

But I need to question, won't this file regenerated after some updates?

Sorry, I haven't found any relevant info. Maybe you'll get audio.conf.pacnew file after the update.
