[Linux Mint - PS3 - Bluetooth] Having high latency when using Gimx + Bluetooth Headset

[mbarberot]

Hello,
When I use GIMX and a bluetooth headset with my PS3, I have a high latency.

Details :

GIMX alone : fine, no latency
PS3 controller alone : fine, no latency
Non PS3 controller alone : fine, no latency

GIMX + headset : fine during 10sec than latency increase dramtically
PS3 Controller + headset : fine, no latency
Non PS3 controller + headset : fine, no latency

My config :

OS : Linux Mint 13 - Cinammon
GIMX version : 4.3
Bluetooth : USB dongle
PS3 : Slim

I know it may be a duplicate of #168, but this issue is more than one year old.
I did not want to dig it up.

Hi,
Which dongle do you use?
What's the output of the 'hcirevision' command?

About the dongle :
It's a "connec'style" bluetooth dongle.
Manufacturer : Cambridge Silicon Radio
Chip : BlueCore4-ROM

I don't have any output on hcirevision and echo $? returns 0.

Sorry the command is in fact 'hcirevision hci0'.

Ok, the command returns this :

    Chip version: BlueCore4-ROM

Thanks. This chip is a good one.
Sadly fixing this issue would require a lot of work, and I can't afford working on it.
There are two solutions for you:

• use a USB headset
• build a DIY USB adapter

Ok, thx.
I'll give a look to the DIY USB adapter.
