Most Bluetooth devices work fine for me with Fedora, but I still haven't been able to get my Bose quietcontrol headphones to work correctly - they pair but then start playing random noises and telling me there's an incoming call.

I have some wired headphones I prefer in general so haven't messed around with it too much, but it's been a source of frustration when I've been away from home and needed to do a call with only the Bose ones on me



>start playing random noises and telling me there's an incoming call.

Open your bluetooth settings and change the mode from HSP/HFP to A2DP mode. That incoming call issue happens in HSP mode because something has tried to access a microphone which has defaulted to your headphones mic which causes the bluetooth mode to switch.


Interesting. I suppose there are, then, still some serious issues to resolve. I guess for now I can just be glad I did not go with Bose QCs instead :)
