[Bluez-users] Conceptronic 200M (CBT200U V2.0)

[Bluez-users] Conceptronic 200M (CBT200U V2.0)

[Heike C. Zimmerer]

Hello,

Recently, I've bought a Conceptronic 200M BT dongle, which, as far as
I have learned, is also known as CBT100U V.2 USB.  In contrary to its
CBT100U V1.1 predecessor which AFAIK used the CSR chipset, this one
has Broadcom chips.

I'm trying to connect to a Logitech headset (the one mentioned in
another article because of problems with the mic mixer). I don't get any
audio output at the headset.  I didn't check if I can get mic audio
from it.  What puzzles me is that the output mixer seems to work;
increasing/decreasing the output volume affects a very low noise which
can be heard at high mixer levels.

Telling from btsco's -v output, the Conceptronic connects just as the
other dongle does - I can't see any difference.  I'd prefer to use the
Conceptronic because of its small antenna which I hope will give me
the 1..3 meters additional coverage I'm currently missing.

I'm using CVS btsco and the newest bluez software.  Any idea what and
where to look for?


Thanks,

Heike

*grr* I hate it when vendors do this, but

This is probably related to the chipset: If "hciconfig hci0 revision"
doesn't say "SCO mapping:  HCI", you are probably out of luck with this
Chipset. See also the "Discussion" section on
http://bluetooth-alsa.sourceforge.net/.

This is probably normal, as there is a secondary (rfcomm serial) channel 
to the headset that carries commands like Volume, Ringing (check that,
should also work) and button presses.

This is only this control connection, not the SCO voice data connection.


CU, Andy

JFTR: This should read "CBT100U V1.2 USB".  And to complete confusion,
a small printing on the dongle reads "CBT100U V2.0".  Anyway,

it doesn't report any SCO mapping and lsusb reports "Broadcom Corp"
and "BCM2034", so I'm probably really out of luck.

Maybe this is worth a note on the compatibility list since this model
is mentioned there as working which isn't true any more.


Greetings,

Heike

Which list is that? I thought Marcel took down his compatibility list.

It's a good point... I think the compatibility list I last saw didn't 
say anything about sco/voice.

Yes.  It's the features list I was talking about
(http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/features.html).  It lists the
CBT100U as using a CSR chipset which in turn lead me to believe it was
fully supported.
