Подключение AirPods к Ububntu
AirPods наушники использующие Bluetooth технологию и в принципе при подключении проблем возникать не должно. Но так как Linux это не Windows, иногда могут возникнуть сложности. На моей практике два кейса от Apple, которые ведут себя совершенно по разному.
Первые подключаются (3 Pro) сразу без вопросов к сопряжению, а вот другие (тоже 3 Pro) не хотят. Возможно проблема в прошивке, возможно есть какое-то еще отличие в них. Но решение оказалось очень интересным, потребовалось в файле конфигурации выставить значение ControllerMode = bredr.
How to pair+setup+connect airpod pro on ubuntu 20.04
I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and i own a pair of Airpod pro’s.
Ubuntu detects the device but fails to pair/setup/connect. I know this because when i click it, it has a spinning logo like its attempting to connect and then it just returns back to the default «Not Set Up».
I have followed advice from here setting the ControllerMode, i have tried both «dual» and «le» without any success.
