I think what you are missing are the initialization steps that you need to send across RFCOMM as well as advertising the 'Audio Gateway'. You should refer to the Bluetooth Headset Profile Spec to figure that out. First, make sure you are advertising the 'Audio Gateway' profile on your Mac (there is a plist for this service available somewhere in /Developer/Examples/Bluetooth/...). An RFCOMM channel will be assigned to this service, and you will have to make sure to communicate over that specific channel. The headset should automatically communicate with this channel because it is specified in the advertised service. Second, the headset must be paired with the Mac. You can do this through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant. It is nearly impossible to do this programatically because the APIs for HCI aren't public. (On a semi-related note, if you use Parallels to load up your favorite variant of Linux, you can access the HCI layers using BlueZ, so I am guessing that the developers of Parallels were granted access to these "Private" APIs. If I am correct, that doesn't seem very fair. Do Apple Engineers really want us using AppleScript to take care of pairing, for example, programatically?) Third, you must establish the RFCOMM connection. The headset will send a bunch of AT commands over the link and you must respond as indicated in the headset profile. Once you have responded correctly, audio will be sent across the SCO link. The difficult part here is getting a handle on the Audio data from the Audio Device created by IOBluetoothAddSCOAudioDevice. As Marco mentioned earlier on the bluetooth-dev list, you have to do a bunch of CoreAudio gymnastics. But, before you delve into this, just go into Audio System Preferences, and see if the meter on the SCO Audio Device Output is moving as you scream into your Bluetooth headset :) There may be a simpler way to get to the audio, but only certain special people get access to the SCO Bluetooth Classes.... Hopefully that'll get you started. I intend on writing a guide on how to do all of this, step by step, sometime soon. Also, I feel your pain. I have struggled with similar issues, with very few hints from the bluetooth-dev list. Apple Engineers, is there a reason that on this specific issue you have been relatively silent as far back as I can tell according to the archives? It seems to me that everyone who has figured out this problem has used a technical incident and then say they can't help because they are under NDA. I don't get it...and not all of us can (afford to) attend the WDC. -Harel Hello, Is it possible to have a rfcomm connection with a bluetooth headset on top of which to start/stop SCO connection ? Usage scenario: a RFCOMM connection has to be maintained to a bluetooth headset to get button press events, but in the same time, SCO is activated to play/record sounds using the headset. So far, I could make a RFCOMM connection to capture button press events, but I couldn't start SCO in any way. SCO seems connected to a system audio device which connects/disconnects the headset when needed. I couldn't find any method to control SCO from API. How can I solve the problem in the above given scenario ? Do I need to develop my own SCO layer over RFCOMM and create a new audio device driver ? Any pointers to do such a thing ? I've tried IOBluetoothAddSCOAudioDevice, but it's a deprecated function and the only thing it does, is to create the associated audio device, if such a device is not already present. My code is the following: void* keys[1]; keys[0]=[[NSString alloc] initWithCString:"IOAudioControls"]; void* values[1]; id array=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; values[0]=array; CFDictionaryRef dictionary=CFDictionaryCreate(NULL,keys,values,1, &kCFTypeDictionaryKeyCallBacks,&kCFTypeDictionaryValueCallBacks); IOReturn res=IOBluetoothAddSCOAudioDevice(m_headset,dictionary); The operation was successful in the case when the audio device didn't exist. In the case when the device existed (created using bluetooth interface in the OS), the function returned a general error.
