I want to connect my August headphones to my laptop in Ubuntu 16.04. Yet I seem unable to add it via the bleutooth gui:
I see the TA headphones yet clicking on the entry does nothing and there is no feedback. The Devices indicator is looping forever.
I then try to add it via terminal as described in that answer using bluez-tools, yet bt-audio
is depricated for me.
I then tried
bluetoothctl
:
$ bluetoothctl
[NEW] Device 04:52:C7:0D:C5:69 TA Headphones
[bluetooth]# connect 04:52:C7:0D:C5:69
Yet unfortunately it outputs:
Attempting to connect to 04:52:C7:0D:C5:69
Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed
I am also trying to follow similar question like this one. The are suggesting to run:
sudo pactl unload-module module-bluetooth-discover
sudo pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
Yet those commands yield in:
Home directory not accessible: Permission denied
Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused
Failing on all of these approaches: How to add Bluetooth headphones either by gui or terminal?
