Bluetooth crashes after pressing play [bluez 5.67]

drkoma · 2023-06-30 21:09:09

Since of today , I might have updated too early, the bluetooth would pair , connect, and then crash right after pressing play on any application.
It always worked , a headset.

Dmesg shows :

[    4.957707] thinkpad_acpi: rfkill switch tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: radio is unblocked

In journalctl at the time of crash this shows up

something about

Failed to set privacy: Rejected (0x0b)

feels weird but didnt found a solution,

Already unpaired and repaired, also with bluetoothctl, still nothing.

The service loooks fine and running , nothing relevant there

Using pipewire and Linux arch 6.3.9-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed, 21 Jun 2023 20:46:20 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any ideas what to try next?

Thanks

Bug in bluez 5.67. Downgrade bluez bluez-libs bluez-utils back down to 5.66

How do you downgrade bluez, bluez-libs and bluez-utils to 5.66?

andyturfer · 2023-06-30 22:43:43

Thanks. Read up on downgrading packages, learned something new

This solved it for me:

$ sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/b/bluez/bluez-5.66-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
$ sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/b/bluez-libs/bluez-libs-5.66-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
$ sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/b/bluez-utils/bluez-utils-5.66-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

EDIT:

I've also added the following to the [options] section in my /etc/pacman.conf to prevent these from being updated for now:

[options]
...
# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
IgnorePkg = bluez bluez-libs bluez-utils

Awesome @crazybit , I just did and works like a charm.

Nice to see the popper way to do it, I was just too tempted to install the downgrade script . https://github.com/archlinux-downgrade/downgrade

anyone knows of a good RSS feed or sorts to keep updated with this kind of incidents apart of this forum ?

You can always check the arch bug list to see if anyone else is having the same issue.
https://bugs.archlinux.org

The specific page for this bug says bluez has been updared with a fix and its in testing now.

Gabachin · 2023-07-01 02:58:30

Downgrading only bluez worked for me.

PoZiTPoH · 2023-07-01 08:29:07

Version 5.68 cut, waiting in repos.

For now you can downgrade or install git version of bluez from AUR.

basemt · 2023-07-01 20:10:22

Updating to 5.68 fixed it for me.

drkoma · 2023-07-02 08:10:34

Yes, 5.68 seems fixed it.

I highly recommend having downgrade from the AUR installed. It's awesome when you need it and saves time. You would just use the following and get a nice selection of previous versions:

sudo downgrade bluez bluez-libs and bluez-utils

Hi, I'm having problems with audio Bluetooth since 5.67. It is randomly cut when two different source audio is played at the same time. Is anybody having this annoying problem?

ewaller · 2023-07-04 15:18:14

Weezer playing through mpd and Bob Marley through Spotify streaming to my Tozo NC-2 earbuds works perfectly. Odd combo with dissimilar tempos, yes. But nothing I would call a 'cut'.
Bluetooth 5.68

Same here on 5.68. Random cuts and no audio while changing volume or playing from mpv and firefox at the same time. Linux Studio plugins also stops working while playing audio over bluetooth.

[ainz@archlinux ~]$ inxi -Ea 
Bluetooth:
  Device-1: Cambridge Silicon Radio Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) driver: btusb
    v: 0.8 type: USB rev: 2.0 speed: 12 Mb/s lanes: 1 mode: 1.1 bus-ID: 3-4:2
    chip-ID: 0a12:0001 class-ID: e001
  Report: rfkill ID: hci0 rfk-id: 0 state: up address: see --recommends

Using linux-lts, pipewire.

Tried:

Different codecs like: AAC, SBC, LDAC.
Downgrading bluez bluez-libs bluez-utils back to 5.66-1.
Downgrading linux-firmware to 20230404.2e92a49f-1. No luck.

thanks!

From my site, I following the instruction here:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/audio-goes- … e/143479/4
to clean all config from pulseaudio, but did not work.

But, clear, I'm using now pipewire, so it is the problem.

Downgrading pipewire to 1:0.3.71-2 solved this issue for me.

sudo downgrade pipewire gst-plugin-pipewire pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack pipewire-pulse libpipewire
