Most of my recent questions on AU have gone unanswered. I usually get a few comments but then crickets. Is there an imbalance between askers and answerers, or am I asking wrong?

I don't seem to be the only one with this issue:

http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/7260/am-i-just-asking-wrong

But in that case it looks like the person tended to report bugs rather than seek answers. It's hard for me to know whether I'm doing the same thing (when you're a noob, everything that doesn't work feels like a bug), but I like to think I'm asking for solutions, not just highlighting problems:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/845513/how-do-i-play-through-bluetooth-headphones (I raised a bounty and it expired)

http://askubuntu.com/questions/842800/why-do-i-have-to-disable-a-proxy-in-apt-conf-d

http://askubuntu.com/questions/803386/how-do-i-correctly-set-ownership-of-a-cifs-mount

Are these just "too hard"? Am I asking wrong? What can I do to effectively seek help with these and future issues?
