Hello!
Bluetooth has several different versions. I believe the latest is 4.0. AFAIK, for Linux, blueman is the only game in town.
I, too, have problems with some of my headsets connecting properly. I have a Bluetooth Android tablet that has VERY choppy audio on my 5-year old Motorola headset, but is fine with the newer 'cheapie' headsets. Likewise, on my PC with an older, generic adapter, my old headset connects fine, but the newer ones will not. Go figure...

Do we know who this cschramm person is? Maybe we should create our own PPA just to be safe.

Hello!
Despite some editor/server issues, I was finally able to modify the OP. Thank you, Jerry - for straightening that out, and for everything else you do around here for us!
Now, back to your post. You can get more information here:

Both of my headsets are v4.0. Must just be the crappy knock off. I have to reset the connection every time I boot up the computer but at least the "good" headset always seems to work.
Maybe that would help with my BT audio sync issues.
Hi,
Not sure.?
I'm not sure how this fits with Rob's instructions.?
I can only assume..?? (sometimes a bad idea
)
If starting from scratch with Broadcom based device for a clean start:
1. Install the drivers per the link
2. Make sure the Bluetooth "Blueman" applet is set to Auto-start in the Application Auto-start
3. Follow Rob's instructions
4. re-boot.??
5. Plug in Bluetooth adapter
???... possibly

Just an update...
I purchase one of the Plugable Bluetooth 4.0 adapters.(Broadcom)
I followed the instruction I posted above to get the driver, and then followed Rob's instructions.
All worked perfectly, Headset and Mic work perfectly for Media playback & SKYPE
Glad it worked out for you mate !
A good How To for other people in the Forum as well .
Yes,
Hopefully will help other with Bluetooth enabled devices.
