[Alternatively Solved] Can't get the snd-bt-sco module ...

Hello

I'm trying to get my bluetooth stereo headset working ...
I need the snd-bt-sco module but the btsco package isn't in the community repo anymore (right ?).
So I made the btsco package from AUR but the only file present in the final package is "/usr/bin/btsco"...
Is there a way to get that module in order to make my headset work ?

Thanks a lot !

Yup it's normal for the final package to contain only /usr/bin/btsco

This package does not provide the module, it's only some sort of a helper program. Try doing this and see (as root): modprobe snd-bt-sco

The module should be provided by the kernel itself, and thus modprobe-ing it should work.

snd-bt-sco is not provided by the kernel, and never was. The kernel-module way of doing this stuff is now deprecated in favour of a user-space solution, although the module code is still available. See http://bluetooth-alsa.sourceforge.net for full details.

I followed tomk's link. There, they say that plugz package can make a bluetooth headset work.
But on this website, there's a link to bluez's site to test the audio drivers that are built into bluez.
So, according that page, http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices , I managed to make my headset work.
There are still some issues with my headset but I will open a new thread.
I flag the thread as alternatively solved
Thanks !
