From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hey ma ppl,

i need some halp plz.

I want to run my hearing aids on Linux mint. So basically i need to implement a blueZ stack which supports the asha-protocoll (audio streaming for hearing aids)

I can see my aids on Bluetooth via BLE (Bluetooth low energy)

I can connect to them.. and stay connected ^^

BUT

i dont see any audio channel dedicated to that and i cant create a suitable one.

Plz gib me some tippz what to load and the comand lines for it maybe.

Im on the newest Linux Mint.

Try a newer distro, in case the bluetooth stack on Mint from 2024 is too old. Maybe the latest ubuntu, and see if that works (try the live cd, no need to install). If not, try Fedora, which is different enough to possibly implement things a bit differently. If that doesn't work either, you're probably out of luck. The asha protocol has bugs on linux. Basically, Linux is great for common hardware, not so good for uncommon one.
