Bug Description

This bug has persisted over several years, and several versions, and after a lot of investigation I'm not really any closer on what's going on.

I have two pretty old GA MA78gm S2H mainboards, configured slightly different, and otherwise working properly. Both of them have run both Ubuntu and Windows. The problem seems to have been minimized when running Win10, and even if it is there it seems like Win10 recover when it happen. I wonder if I started noticing the problem under Ubuntu 14.x, but I'm pretty sure it was there already at Ubuntu 16.x. I'm now running Ubuntu 19.10 and Gnome 3.34.2. (Just for the record, the bug also persisted in Ubu 18.04 for as long as I was using it.)

It isn't really an option to switch the mainboards, as there are too much custom-builds running on them for the moment. They will probably be replaced when I have time to rebuild everything. ;)

To make Bluetooth work I use an ASUS USB-BT400, which report as “BCM920702 Bluetooth 4.0”, or more accurately “BCM20702A1 (001.002.014) build 1467”. I have also used other dongles, but it seems like all of them has the same chipset.

Now…

Given I restart the computer
And boot into Ubuntu 19.10
And log in as myself
And attach a pair of Sony MDR-ZX770BN
When I listen to sound from a movie with A2DP
Then at some random point it start to lag noticeably (sound becomes scratchy)
And suddenly disconnects (at this point it seems like it is Bluetooth that disconnects)

It may take 5–10 minutes and up to several hours before it disconnects.

Given I turn the headphones off
And back on
When it reconnects to the computer
Then the computer fails to enable the sound device (visible in the preference manager f.ex.)

There are several reports of various equipments that disconnect, and I wonder if this could be the same problem.

Problem 1

The dongle is rather hot when it disconnects. This is mere speculation, but I wonder if the disconnect happen because either the mainboard gives to little current and thus it fails due to voltage drop, or it fails due to overheating. It seems like the port should have enough current to sustain the dongle, but I wonder if the mainboard could let several ports share the same power source, and thus it fail to deliver enough current. There are other devices powered by the USB ports, and they don't seem to fail, which seems likely to happen if power is the issue.

The issue seems to be somewhat related to the quality of the audio, which makes me wonder whether higher quality gives more transferred data, which again gives higher power consumption. It also seems like the issue can be triggered by moving away from the computer. That would give higher tx power, which could make the dongle overheat or mainboard could fail to provide enough current.

Is there any way to get a more specific failure report from the dongle?

Problem 2

After the headphone reconnects it seems like the sound system isn't working properly. I've been checking, and everything seems correct, still the headphone is missing as an output device. I have not been able to figure out what makes the sound system fail, and I have not been able to make it recover. Only way to recover seems to be to do a cold reboot. A simple warm reboot does not fix the problem, but this can be related to problem 1.

This time it took nerly four hours before it failed, and the pref managers pane insists that the headphones are connected using A2DP.

At this point, if I try to break the connection from the computer and reconnect, then it will sometimes find the headphone and list it as connected, but it will not be listed in the pref manager as an ouput device.

I did that, and made listings like the previous

Copy-pasting the lsmod-list made the computer freeze, and I had to make a hard restart, so the error-state is now lost. It could be that something additional was unstable after the error appeared.

I provided a dump to give a bit more context on my machine. It is added as an attachment.
The actual command to generate the dump is the following, and it was run before the error appeared

{ sudo lshw | grep product | head -n1 && sudo lspci -knn | grep Net -A3 && lsusb -v; } >output.txt 2>&1

I'll see if I can make the comøputer fail once more, and will then attach the dmesg.

It isn't much here to point to the cause of the problem, but perhaps someone familiar with debugging Bluetooth/pulse-audio can point me in the right direction. In particular note hat something is changed for A2DP in Bluez 5.54, and I have not tested this version. (http://www.bluez.org/release-of-bluez-5-54-and-5-53/)

If anything else is required I will provide it to the best of my abilities, limited to any security and privacy concerns.

There are several reports on the net talking about random disconnects with Bluetooth dongles reporting as BCM20702A0 and BCM20702A1, that might be important.

Win10 experience the same problems, but it seems like they are able to recover.

It seems like my HK Onyx Studio 4 has the same problem, but much less frequently. I have not tried to make any statistics though. I had a pair of Philips Bluetooth headphones that also had this problem. In short, I'm pretty sure it is not the devices that are the problem, although they may use the same chipset.

I don't experience the same problem when the sound devices are attached to Android devices.

So the problem persists over several sound devices, over several Bluetooth dongles, and over several mainboards. That should indicate that the problem somehow emerge from the system, even if Win10 seems to have fixed it to some degree.

From second paragraph “I wonder if I started noticing the problem under Ubuntu 14.x, but I'm pretty sure it was there already at Ubuntu 16.x. I'm now running Ubuntu 19.10 and Gnome 3.34.2. (Just for the record, the bug also persisted in Ubu 18.04 for as long as I was using it.)”

The bug was infact the reason I updated to 19.04 and later to 19.10, but it did not go away.

#23

Slightly different machine, running 20.04 LTS, but not too different I guess. Uses the same BT-400 dongle as the other machine, the Hama dongle seems to create additional problems even if it should use the same chip.

Also tried Fedora 32 from a live USB stick, it had the same problem.

I wonder if it somehow is triggered by sampling rate, number of bits, encoding, or something similar as it wasn't triggered while I saw “The Old Guard” but when I started “Nighfliers” it emerged pretty fast.

It seems to start with an increasing delay (lack of sync) until it fails.

When it did fail before the apport report the sound in my Bluetooth headphones stopped, but it was still connected in the Bluetooth pane in “preference”. I turned the headphones off, but they were still listed as connected. Turned them back on, still connected. Tried to manually set the output device, no change. Then ran apport-collect.

As soon as I can get an [Asus USB BT500](https://www.asus.com/Networking/USB-BT500/) I will try that, as I suspect this issue is somehow related to the chip in the dongle. It seems like all dongles with the same chip has the same issue. The sound problem is probably (?) a secondary effect, but that is the most prominent effect.

While waiting for a new Bluetooth dongle I messed around with some other equipment. It seems like I can't make a Herman/Kardon Onyx 4 to fail, which is a bit strange. Tried to log it with hcidump and nothing unusual showed up. Logging avdtp gave identical results.

So just to double-check what happen when I attached my Sony headphones I started hcidump and connected the headphone, and started playing a streamed movie. I see the effect of the sound breaking up, but I can't make the connection fail when hcidump is running. Usually it is enough to provoke some glitches in the connection, then delay builds up, and the phone disconnects. When that happen all devices using sound over USB dies. With hcidump running is does not die.

This is really weird, as hcidump should not change the stream in any way.

Several programs are updated, it could be that this works now even if the sound breaks up from time to time. I'll do some more testing.

If I restart and try to use my Sony headphones, then sound stutter and fails. If I run `sudo hcidump --ext avdtp`, then it works… This is weird!

The bug is still present in Ubuntu 22.10 on a Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-990FXA-UD3, when attached to an HK Onyx Studio 6.

Usually a work around is to restart the Bluetooth stack twice.

My wild guess is that a (ring) buffer in the Bluetooth stack is filled, and isn't reset because the sound system can't catch up. It then goes on until it crashes.
