Re: Bluetooth problem (again)

I am certainly not an expert on Linux, take this with some spoons of salt: It is much faster to reinstall MX than to search and repair some unknown deep-level issues! The User-installed -packages program saves a lot of time. For me, it seems rather clear that Bluetooth is not very stable in MX for ...

Re: How to properly set up IFI ZEN DAC V2 [Solved]

Well ... this is most likely about USB Audio Class(es), abbreviated as UAC . Thus, it is about the capacity of the PC OS and not about the DAC. In about the same timeframe as USB 2.0 was launched UAC 1 was introduced. It has about the same performance as CD-quality, ie 16 bits (~ 96 dB) dynamic ...

Re: Universal Media Server(UMS)

Yep, UMS works fine for me. I am using the latest free version, 14.8.0. Since some time there is no longer a separate interface UI, it all goes via a web interface. As I am sure you know, there are config files in your home directory. Old config and database files should be deleted, Then of course ...

Re: Bluetooth audio problems

Hi EmmaX, Unfortunately, Bluetooth is a weak area in MX. Other distributions may be better in this respect - most likely as those you mention (Ubuntu, Mint) as well as others - myself I have got better results with Manjaro. There might be ways around this, as such in the link from Kermit (but this ...

Re: MX Linux Audio

Unfortunately, Linux doesn't always work well with WiFi/Bluetooth. Chip-set suppliers (who should provide relevant drivers) seems to be more focused on Windows and IOS, which is understandable if one considers market penetrations. I have had better experience with Manjaro for both WiFi and Bluetooth ...

Re: Connection Failed: br-connection-page-timeout

Thanks for your suggestions, but I doubt very much that these issues (with 2 different PC) are hardware based. One PC is a Lenovo Slim Yoga, the other one is a "Shenzhen DOKE product: MP80", they have different BT chips (QSI for the MP80 is attached below). The following experiments were performed ...

Connection Failed: br-connection-page-timeout

as the title says, Bluetooth doesn't really want to connect. When the pc is just re-booted then there might be a short-lived connection, < 30 s. After that connection is lost, new connection attempt results in "Connection Failed: br-connection-page-timeout". This on two different PC, both MX 23. 4 ...

Re: This should work, right?

There are two kinds of Windows/Microsoft passwords: local and "internet" (ie there is a MS account). Local pw are probably easier to reset, a 30 day waiting period for resetting the "internet" pw is then a security feature. Back to the MX Linux issue: if you have set USB as first Booting device and ...

Re: This should work, right?

How MX is placed on the USB may also be an issue! The downloaded .iso file has to be converted and put on eg a USB stick. If you are using Windows for creating "MX on USB" then Rufus is one of the best tools. google, download and start Rufus, easy peasy. You should be able to run MX from the stick ...
