This is the scenario I mentioned in the other thread, where my external Bluetooth dongle is now working better than my laptop's internal device. My laptop has the following: 0a5c:2101 Broadcom Corp. A-Link BlueUsbA2 Bluetooth Playing sound to my A2DP headset works fine, and so does Bluetooth mouse input. But if I try to do both at the same time, mouse movement pretty much kills the audio, and I get long periods of silence. The audio resumes when the mouse goes into sniff mode, skipping several times to catch up. Then it dies again when I move the mouse. If I switch off the mouse's power switch before it goes into sniff mode while playing audio, the audio doesn't come back until the link to the mouse times out. I'm attaching /proc/bus/usb/devices. I also made a log with 'hcidump -X -V', but since it's 804k compressed, I put it on some webspace rather than posting it to the mailing list: http://xyzw.org/files/hcidump-mouse-a2dp.log.bz2 To make the log file, I killed bluetoothd, started hcidump, then restarted bluetoothd. I then moved the mouse, authorized it (I guess having to do that is the BlueZ 4.29 issue mentioned on this list), and played some music to the headset. A few times during the music, I moved the mouse and triggered the breakup. This log doesn't include the test where I turned off the mouse while playing audio. This is with the latest bluetooth-testing kernel.
