Hello,
I recently installed Zorins OS and it works fine except with my audio which freeze sometimes when I use my HUAWEI Freebuds 4i. As default they are A2DP Sink config and HSP/HFP available but it doesn't apply HSP/HFP... I checked my drivers and they are up to date, no additional drivers neither
I'll have to look into it a bit more. I recommended pipewire because they at least switch between the A2DP & HSP/HPF automatically rather well. In the sound settings you may also be able to manually choose the HSP/HPF driver which could alleviate the issue.
All possible solutions are educated guesses. Without your hardware, it requires you to implement the changes and undo them if they don't work. I'll see what else i can find to help. Forgive me but it is a process.
Ok so I was able to test HSP/HPF and it's really bad so I stick to A2DP. Anyway thanks for your time if you have any question about hardware or something
While the quality was terrible, did it work? A2DP, other than output, isn't working anymore in Linux... don't know why. Pipewire has heard the complaints about quality and are working on it.
I don't know why manufacturers have dropped support of A2DP in favor of HSP/HPF, but that seems to be the case. I don't have any BT device that uses A2DP on Linux except as a speaker.
It was more or less working but I feel like listening to radio it's not usable like this to be honnest.
I tryed all codecs for A2DP but still not working.
I just noticed that I don't have problem when I don't use wifi so after research I found out that bluetooth and wifi could conflict but bluetooth is 2.4gHz and my wifi 5Ghz so it should be ok
While you may be correct, a lot of routers operate in dual band mode but default. You have to manually disable 2.4 wifi. Check the admin page if your router to be sure.
I checked and my wifi use both frequences but I'm unable to acces admin page. Weird thing is that my bluetooth headphones were working perfectly on Windows 10 with wifi so I think it's more drivers issue? I checked and I don't have additionnal driver showing so I don't know what else I can do

# Automatic connection for bonded devices driven by platform/user events.

# Do reverse service discovery for previously unknown devices that connect to

# Enables Multi Profile Specification support. This allows to specify if

# Possible values: "off", "single", "multiple"
#MultiProfile = off
# Permanently enables the Fast Connectable setting for adapters that
