bose qc 35 - arch linux.txt

In order to work the Bose QC35 Headset Bluetooth do the following:

- sudo pacman -Syu  pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-bluetooth bluez bluez-libs bluez-utils
- turn off bluetooth from your computer
- sudo btmgmt ssp of
- gpasswd -a YOUR_USER lp

I did get it to work today. I have the latest updates to arch and running the latest kernel. I use Blueman as the gui front end and installed bluez, pulseaudio-bluetooth and bluez-utils. I think the pulseaudio-bluetooth was important as I didn't install it initially and while I could pair it wouldn't connect. After I added pulseaudio-bluetooth it connected after I restarted pulseaudio. Good Luck

Worked great on arch!

Worked great on arch!

Thanks @johnynfulleffect

tx andrealmar for sharing this, but if you want to use microphone on bluetooth you need to switch profile to HSP/HFP and installing offono to have mics working but it is still not great because with this profile HPF you have a noise sound in the background that is very anoying i try "Enable Echo/Noise-Cancellation" to /etc/pulse/default.pa but i still have this anoying sound...

is that just due to bluetooth being single channel? the QC35s made that horrible sound on Windows/Mac for me as well, when the microphone and speakers are both 'in use'.

$ sudo btmgmt ssp off
Set Secure Simple Pairing for hci0 failed with status 0x11 (Invalid Index)

I'm on Arch Linux using Plasma 5.

$ uname -a
Linux x1-carbon 5.5.4-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat, 15 Feb 2020 00:36:29 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I got this as well. Does anyone know how to fix this?

This works. To get the microphone working, I had to also replace

load-module module-bluetooth-policy 

with

load-module module-bluetooth-policy auto_switch=2

in /etc/pulse/default.pa.
