i looked and couldn't find an answer to my problem. I am trying to connect to my Logitech Boombox via bluetooth. It recognizes the device, but once it pairs it claims "failed authentication".

Thx, Sebas

I had the same problem running Ubuntu 13.04, with a Logithech Boombox UE. In my case the solution was to edit the /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf file.

Under section [General] add:

Disable=Socket
Enable=Source

This should get the connection working. However, the sound is faltering and I had to add further modifications to the file.

In the same section add:

SCORouting=PCM
AutoConnect=true

Under section [Headset] add:

HFP=false
SBCSources=1
MPEG12Sources=0

This solved the problem for me.

I hope that helps.

After upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04 Boombox didn't connect any more. Installing pipewire-pulse solved the problem.

I have encountered exactly the same problem with Bluetooth 4.99 - I've Googled my eyeballs out on this, posted for help on numerous forums, tried all possible tips & tweaks. Nothing. Logitech support are useless on this.

Somebody, somewhere, must have some ideas on how to fix this!
