Bluetooth headset Sony DR-BT10CX connection problem

Asked by Marc Zweili

My Bluetooth headset Sony DR-BT10CX connects and disconnects constantly. This happens in intervals of approximately 10 to 15 seconds.
The same headset had no such problem on my previous Win 10 installation on the same PC.

Venue-11-Pro-7139
Ubuntu 19.10

When the bluetooth disconnects, open a terminal and run:

dmesg | tail; lsb_release -a; uname -a; lsusb; lspci

What is the output please?

Is this a USB Bluetooth stick or onboard Bluetooth in a laptop or similar?

If you run:

sudo systemctl enable bluetooth.service

It may help

Could try the 5.4 kernel
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.4.1/

See if it helps

You don't need the "lowlatency" debs

the problem seems to be between the Sony headset and Linux. The connection between my external bluetooth speaker and the pc works perfectly. I will try to borrow another bluetooth headset for testing.

I think I have found the reason for the problem:
– Bluetooth speakers using A2DP only work fine.
– Bluetooth headsets using HSP/A2DP do not.
