As i said before in a previous blog, i got a new headset as a gift from my uncle,, mm i tried to configure it in the first day but i failed,,, today i played again and yes i got it working,, here how i configured it.<\/p>\n

I use Fedora 8 (yes i know currently there is F10 \ud83d\ude1b ), my headset vendor is Teac, you will need to install the following packages:<\/p>\n

bluez-utils, bluez-utils-alsa also gnome-bluetooth if you use gnome and wanna add it to the panel.<\/p>\n

now use hcitool to seach about the device:<\/p>\n

[idle-boy@localhost Enigma]$ hcitool scan
\nScanning …
\n00:1F:5C:87:95:D7 idle-BoY
\n00:09:DD:70:D9:AA Stereo Headset<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now set your Headset to paring mode and do the following command to connect (as root):<\/p>\n

[root@localhost ~]# hcitool cc 00:09:DD:70:D9:AA<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Add the following to your ~\/.asoundrc file (a file alsa use):<\/p>\n

pcm.bluetoothraw {
\ntype bluetooth
\ndevice 00:09:DD:70:D9:AA
\nprofile “auto”
\n}<\/p>\n

pcm.bluetooth {
\ntype plug
\nslave {
\npcm “bluetoothraw”
\n}<\/p>\n

}<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

thats all, at least for me \ud83d\ude42 ,, i use mplayer,, to play a song:<\/p>\n

[idle-boy@localhost Enigma]$ mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth *\/*<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

for more info and other players, see this Documentation: http:\/\/wiki.bluez.org\/wiki\/HOWTO\/AudioDevices<\/p>\n
