ubuntu bluetooth headphones issue.

[Ashleyyyy]

so after not having used linux for 2 years, and getting insanely mad at Windows yesterday, i installed ubuntu 17.10 on my laptop. 

 

all is well, apart from one problem. 

 

if i pair my Philips SHB 7250 headphones to it, i can listen for about 2 minutes, and then the audio cuts off, the volume is locked, and after another minute the music will start playing through the speakers in my laptop, but my headphones are still "connected"..

That's really odd. What kind of bluetooth chipset does your laptop have? I noticed non-intel chipsets tend to have pretty bad linux support.

lspci says this: Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 (rev 3a)

 

i believe bluetooth is on the same card.
