Bluez 4.27 is the last bluez that works correctly as a service with skype. I have been using skype with bluez bluetooth service fine with my h550 motorola headset. After 4.27 on any new versions of bluez up to 4.32, when I call I hear the headset activating but I get no sound coming or going(or maybe they can hear me, I don't know, but I can't hear them), but I do hear a short sound when I click hang up. mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetoothh550 skypering.wav That still plays a sound fine through my headset. I'm currently using this configuration, just like from 4.27. pcm.bluetoothh550 { type bluetooth device 00:1A:0E:08:03:90 # h550 profile "voice" }
2 things to get from that: 1) We can't easily debug proprietary applications 2) Bluetooth audio was known to be broken/break easily with ALSA Feel free to try the new support in F11, through PulseAudio: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation/Bluetooth#Audio_devices
