From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sony WF-C510 connected on Linux, but never recognized as a headset (lemmy.wtf)

I've been fighting with my Sony WF-C510 for days.

I've tried it on Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux Mint. Same result every time: It connects successfully, but never shows up as an audio output device.

I even bought a USB Bluetooth dongle, thinking my laptop’s chipset was the problem... but nope. It still connects as a device, not a headset.

I’ve restarted Bluetooth services, switched from PulseAudio to PipeWire, and tried every "set-card-profile" trick from AI and forums, but nothing works.

Has anyone actually managed to get a Sony WF-C510 working properly on Linux?

It's clear this is purely Sony's fault for not caring about or supporting Linux drivers. Are they just ignoring the entire platform at this point?

Any workaround or success story would save my sanity.

Distros Tested: Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 12-13, Mint 22 Issue: Connects, but no A2DP/HSP profile visible

I had Sony CH-WH710n and no major problems.

Try to pair the headphones via bluetoothctl and see if there are any errors in the logs.

Do you dual boot windows? In my case it couldn't pair to both at the same time without extracting the keys.

I would try to see if windows pairs up with the headphones, after all other troubleshooting steps are exhausted.
