Description Berend De Schouwer 2013-11-14 14:09:36 UTC
Description of problem:

Bluetooth headset (Philips SHB9100) isn't remembered in sound under 'output.'  When Bluetooth disconnects and reconnects the following is lost:
- Philips as output device
- Philips previous volume (reset to 100%)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

control-center-3.10.1-1.fc20.x86_64
pulseaudio-4.0-8.gitf81e3.fc20.x86_64


How reproducible:

Requires a bluetooth headset, and a Gnome 3.10 desktop.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Pair a bluetooth headset.
2. Choose headset as output device.
3. Set volume to something sensible, less than 100%.
4. Disconnect bluetooth (power off on headset or suspend/resume)
5. Reconnect bluetooth
6. Open sound settings.


Actual results:

7a. Headset is not the chosen output device
7b. Headset is on 100% volume.


Expected results:

7a. Resume with bluetooth headset if it was the last active sound output.
7b. Remember volume from before disconnect.


Additional info:

The expected behaviour is the actual behaviour with wired headsets.

Required timeframe for disconnect/reconnect has not been established.

983298 or 998548 may be related.  If the bluetooth headset gets re-allocated as a "new" headset, the volume settings will surely be lost.

I'm getting a similar problem with my bluetooth mouse with my laptop.  It seems that whenever I close the lid the bluetooth settings all get turned off.  The device stays paired but bluetooth is turned off and the device is turned off in the system control settings.

This is changed behaviour from Fedora 19 where it all just worked without the need to go in and turn this stuff back on every time I started using the computer again.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 09:45:35 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Berend De Schouwer 2015-06-01 12:23:48 UTC
7a is still a problem in Fedora 22
7b is no longer a problem in Fedora 22

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 12:54:54 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
